About Beyond Agronomy

My passion for agriculture extends beyond agronomy. It’s all about working with producers to match sound agronomic practices with solid economics, so at the end of the day, the producer is comfortable with his or her decision and profit is the end result.

Steve is an independent crop advisor based out of Three Hills, Alberta. As owner of Beyond Agronomy, he manages 30,000 acres of cropland and publishes Beyond Agronomy News, a weekly crop production and grain market newsletter with his wife Vanessa. He also farms with his brother-in-law north of Drumheller and is managing director of Preferred Carbon Land Management.

Steve has been working with producers for over ten years. He is a Certified Crop Advisor, has a diploma in Crop Advisory from Olds College and a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from the University of Lethbridge. Steve was recently awarded a Nuffield Farming Scholarship in 2007 and had the opportunity to travel to Brazil (twice), Australia (twice), New Zealand, California, Mexico, United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to study agriculture.
