Welcome to the launch of RhizoMetRx, the podcast where agronomy meets actionable insights. In this episode, host Faith—farmer’s daughter, farm wife, entrepreneur, and agronomist—shares her journey from growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin to running a seed and agronomy business in Northeast Illinois.

Faith explains what inspired her passion for understanding soil fertility, plant nutrition, and crop performance beyond traditional checklists. She dives into her experiences with soil testing, tissue sampling, and field trials, revealing the “aha moments” that changed the way she approaches agronomy—and how these lessons can help growers make data-driven decisions for better yields and farm profitability.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start using root-zone metrics to improve your operation, this episode is your starting point.

• Faith’s journey from farm life to agronomy and entrepreneurship
• Why traditional soil tests don’t always tell the full story
