Andrew Luzum—a farmer, conservation advocate, and strategic agronomist—to explore how traditional values and modern innovation can work hand in hand to sustain agriculture for generations to come.

Andrew shares how his family operation, rooted near a trout hatchery in Winneshiek County, has made water quality and environmental responsibility central to their mission. Knowing that their farm directly impacts local waterways, Andrew emphasizes a personal commitment to stewardship: “We have a tremendous influence on the quality of water that comes out of those springs, and I feel a responsibility to do my part.”

We also dive into Andrew’s professional journey with Corteva Agriscience, where he’s spent nearly a decade advancing through roles in crop protection, territory management, and now as a Nutrient Maximizer Strategic Account Manager. He explains how this role supports farmers in optimizing fertility efficiency, improving return on investment, and protecting soil health through science-based solutions.

Listeners will hear about:

How Andrew’s upbringing on a diverse dairy and livestock farm shaped his leadership style and work ethic.

His experience experimenting with cover crops and the lessons learned from integrating them into a working cow-calf and row-crop system.

The link between data-driven agronomy and environmental outcomes, and how Corteva’s nutrient maximizer tools are helping farms do more with less.

His perspective as an Iowa Corn Animal Agriculture and Environment Committee member—bridging farmers, science, and policy.

The episode closes with a reflection on what “profit” really means in modern agriculture: not just financial returns, but long-term resilience, cleaner water, and stronger rural communities.
