Blake Hadley
Associate Technical Agronomist
Long before he was connecting dots between plant biology and photosynthesis, Blake Hadley was following an 80-year-old farmer around, learning lessons you won’t find in any textbook.
“I was able to work as his farm hand in college,” Blake says. “He showed me how to care about the land, the animals, and the people we worked with. Without his daily example, I would not be who I am today.”
That foundation stuck with him through his studies at Purdue University and now shapes how he approaches every grower conversation as an Associate Technical Agronomist at BW Fusion. Blake specializes in corn and soybeans and brings 11 years of agricultural experience to the table, with a unique focus on the relationship between a plant’s photosynthetic activity and soil biology.
He believes excellence begins with competence and that serving both God and growers means paying attention to the details. Blake’s also a firm believer in learning from the past. Whether he’s reading about the history of synthetic nitrogen or testing new ideas in the field, he’s always asking how we got here... and where we go next.
When he’s not working with farmers, Blake enjoys reading, spending time with family and friends, and experimenting with vermicomposting.
I have found a passion for connecting with growers and having conversations with them, whether that be regarding their crops or just getting to know more about themselves as a person and their farming goals and how I can help make their goals a reality.
Team-wise, our team has more knowledge than you can even imagine! The best part of it all is that everyone here is focused on the same goal – helping farmers succeed.
Everything we do, we do it for the farmers. We are proud to be a family owned business backed by growers. We’re not here to sell products, although that is a part of it, being in business, our true focus is to make those lifelong relationships and help growers build the farming empire they’ve always wanted. We want to do what is best for our growers, and make sure that we are always doing business the right way. That’s what’s extremely important to me and what drives me to pursue a lifelong career path with this company.
We are going to be leaders in the field. As much time and effort we spend on research, validating and proving our own products, we’re going to be leading this section of the industry. We ensure that every batch we take off the production line is to our quality standards and settle for nothing less. We don’t want to see family farms dissolve over the years–we’re here to support farmers and help them become as efficient and profitable as they can be. If there is one thing I could tell every grower I talk to, it’s that they are not just another number to us, we value your relationship and you are part of our family.
- Environoc 401 & MeltDown - These products together are pretty remarkable. There are so many ways to put them to work in any operation, whether breaking down stalks, cleaning seedbeds or breaking down massive root balls–this combo is ready for the challenge.
- BW-Advance - This product promotes plant health and nutrition that is needed to push your crops to the max for the last 60 days of the growing season, and should be one every grower considers adding to their lineup.
- BW-Boron 7% - If you struggle with boron late in the season, you’ve got to get this product added to your lineup. Once applied, you’re able to see the uptake of boron throughout the rest of the growing season and help your crops become most efficient with their nutrients.
It really is a symbiotic relationship–BW Fusion went in knowing if their products didn’t perform like they said they would, we were going to find out from our soil and tissue analysis.
