My name is Will Glazik and I'm an agronomist and organic farmer in central Illinois. As an agronomist I work with conventional, transitional, and organic farmers to develop fertility programs, cover crop plans, crop rotations and IPM. I was raised on a certified organic farm which has been organic since 2003 and I graduated from the University of Illinois in 2013. At the University of Illinois, I majored in Crop Sciences and specialized in soil fertility. After graduation I started working at Crop Production Services where I learned the conventional side of farming. This past fall I started working at Brucker Crop Services which allowed me the opportunity to work more with organic farmers and cover crops. I also have 160 acres in first year transition where I'm exploring ways to minimize tillage in organic systems.
