Episode 63: Precision Plant Nutrition And Finding A Career Calling In Ag with Joe Palomino

Joe Palomino is a Clovis-based agronomist and Certified Crop Consultant (CCA) who works for Axiom Agriculture. His work focuses primarily on crop fertility and soil health, but he also does some irrigation consulting as well. On today’s episode, Palomino shares how he ended up in agronomy without an agricultural background, his thoughts on finding nutrient balance in the orchard, his experience in the Almond Leadership Program, and what has sparked such a passion in him for the agriculture industry.“When we start talking about precision plant nutrition, it's keeping the plant in balance. I like to keep the nutrient bank full and in balance and not let the presence or lack of one nutrient inhibit the availability of another.” - Joe PalominoIn Today’s episode:Meet Joe Palomino, the Clovis-based agronomist and CCADiscover Palomino's background and journey to becoming an agronomistExplore strategies for soil health, crop fertility, and irrigation needsThe Almond Journey Podcast is brought to you by the Almond Board of California.
