Accelerating Innovation to Support U.S. Farmers. Since 2013, we have been working toward six commitments to make agriculture more sustainable. We’ve exceeded many of our goals and have launched a new Good Growth Plan to build on our successes, helping farmers be more productive and profitable while improving sustainability and climate-resiliency.

At Bayer, we believe human ingenuity can shape the future of agriculture. For more than 150 years, we’ve used science and imagination to advance health and nutrition. And together, we can achieve so much more. We’re committed to a world where biodiversity thrives in harmony with humankind. Where hunger and climate change are terms relegated to history books. Where farms are more sustainable, with plants that are more adaptive and resilient, to help improve life for families and communities. In short, where agriculture is part of the solution. As a new leader in agriculture, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to grasp this moment. To continue moving humanity forward by tirelessly shaping what’s possible.

Soil is more than just an anchor point for plant roots; we know that healthy soils are a complex marketplace for plant and soil life to exchange resources. However, decades of conventional soil management, including widespread tillage, have degraded our farms’ soils and reduced soil microbial populations, limiting our soil’s ability to nurture plant life. Our session explores the possibility of waking up the soil microbiome and putting them back to work on the farm with simple management practices. Our session focuses on a crucial aspect of sustainable agriculture that often goes unnoticed: microbe management. Please join us!

SoilOptix® produces the most detailed high-definition soil mapping sensors that can accurately map over 25 different layers including macro and micro nutrients, pH, organic matter, texture, and plant available water. With a resolution of 335 points per acre and data that is easily implemented into variable rate applications, SoilOptix® gives growers a deeper understanding of the variability in nutrients and textural-based properties of their field's soil, which results in better optimization of input (fertilizer, seed, etc) placement for economic and environmental gain.
