To accommodate all of the journalists who want to do individual interviews with BASF executives at the Ag Media Summit, these guys are scheduled to talk with reporters until about midnight tonight!
Meghan Grebner with Brownfield Ag News got one of the first slots with Nevin McDougall, Senior Vice President, BASF Crop Protection, North America last night, since she has to get on the road by end of day today to head to Des Moines for World Pork Expo. Nevin told Meghan that the agriculture industry has to do more with less but finding the key to sustainability is not going to happen overnight. “It’s those day-to-day improvements we make, either in our business or on the farm that allows us to get more with less energy, less water, and less nutrients,” he says. “From my perspective it really is a journey – and every day that we can make an improvement and with every new product we can make another improvement – it is a success in itself.”
