Jason Schley
Chief Agronomy and Product Officer
After nearly three decades in agriculture, Jason Schley still believes the best ideas come from the field, not the classroom. Raised in South Dakota and trained at Lake Area Tech, Jason built his career around one key idea: learn with the farmer, grow with the farmer.
Today, as BW Fusion’s Chief Agronomy and Product Officer, he leads the charge in nutrient management strategies that are practical, profitable, and rooted in real-world results. His expertise spans everything from macro- and micronutrients to building resilient soils, but his real strength is staying curious. “You can’t learn it all from a book,” Jason says. “You have to watch, test, and think outside the book sometimes.”
Jason’s approach is equal parts observant, collaborative, and farmer-focused. He doesn’t rely on old data to make new decisions. Instead, he challenges assumptions, asks the hard questions, and helps growers rethink what’s possible.
When he’s not in the field or working alongside the agronomy team, Jason’s either watching the Detroit Lions (win or lose), or cheering on his kids at their sporting events.
Jason is not only well-educated in the field, but you can also catch him on X talking about the most recent agronomic topics and live in-field findings.
We are not relying on old information to bring us tomorrow’s industry insights and education. We are creating our own data to build our own destiny. By taking every chance we get, we’re able to notice our mistakes and learn from them as to what may be the best solution for growers today. Our businesses revolve around helping farmers become the most efficient with the available nutrients that are already in their fields. We have the desire to be honest and tell the real story of what is happening in farmers' fields across the nation, through our knowledge and ability to bring new products to the marketplace that are different from the majority of any other products that have been released in the past couple decades. The people at BW Fusion are great, and they truly care about farming efficiently. We don’t want to just sell products, but we want to truly understand the strengths and weaknesses of each of BW Fusion products and where they excel in each growers operation.
Everything we do, we do to help today’s growers. Seeing growers take in our recommendations and actually end up being some of the highest yield growers in the country is a major accomplishment, but we aren’t finished yet. We’re just getting started. We are looking to solve the root of the problem and deliver products that have been validated and proven to impact agricultural operations. Helping you be more efficient with your fertilizer dollars is one thing that is top of my mind. I enjoy seeing success with area growers and helping them accomplish their farming goals that were beyond their dreams.
