The Feed

I was pleased to hear from John Oster of The Morrall Companies today. Morrall held its first retail personnel training session yesterday for about 24 employees, including all of our custom operators.  The group included virtually all of Morrall’s people who interact directly with the company’s grower customers.

There is an increasing focus on fertilizers as a problem for the environment, not a solution to meeting the food needs of a growing population. While there is not a one size fits all answer, we know that mandatory rate reductions and input limits are not an environmental, economic or socially beneficial answer either.

The twenty plus years I have spent in the fertilizer industry and thus in the agriculture community have flown by – in large part because I believe the role we play in improving peoples’ lives is undeniable.
