Join us for BRANDT Midwest Agronomy Day to review current field trials, product performance and agronomic strategies. This year’s program will focus on soil fertility, nutrient management, weed control, new genetic offerings and BRANDT technologies designed to help growers protect yield potential throughout the season. Dr. Dan Quinn, Assistant Professor of Agronomy and Extension Corn Specialist at Purdue University, will join us as keynote speaker to share insights on corn nutrient management and high yield physiology.

Dalton Kenerrer
Technical Agronomist, BRANDT Discovery & Innovation
Adjuvants and Weed Control
Evaluating application performance and efficiency.
Demonstrations highlight spray coverage, deposition, and the impact of water quality on performance.
Adam Ivy
Senior Director, BRANDT Specialty Formulations
Genetic Offerings and Crop Protection
New seed technologies and genetic offerings for Central Illinois growers.
Discussions focus on soybean genetics, disease tolerance, sudden death syndrome, red crown rot and short stature corn.

Corn Nutrient Management and High Yield Physiology
Dr. Daniel Quinn is currently an Assistant Professor of Agronomy and the Extension Corn Specialist at Purdue University. He earned his B.S. and M.S. in Crop and Soil Sciences from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. in Plant and Soil Science from the University of Kentucky. Dr. Quinn leads an integrated research and Extension program focused on improving corn productivity, profitability, and environmental performance across Indiana and the Midwest. His current work examines fertilizer management, hybrid selection, crop physiology, agronomic management intensities, equipment technology, conservation cropping systems, and the use of precision and sensing technologies to enhance nutrient efficiency and yield stability.
