The chance to visit a tiny town in southern Missouri where the biggest soybean yields in the world have been achieved was a great opportunity for Markus Heldt, BASF Group Vice President responsible for the ag chemical business in North America.

Markus was really interested to see BASF products in the field and he was very impressed with the turnout at the first ever Kip Cullers Record Breaking Field Day. “It’s the first time we participated in such a large grower event,” said Markus. “More important than the number of growers is the quality of those growers who are looking for innovation and new solutions to improve their productivity.”

Markus says Kip is a great example for other growers. “Not everybody will grow their crop according to Kip’s recipe but his own experience in the field can help every farmer.”
