Clay Stetzel, Helena Agri Enterprises LLC (Guthrie Center, Iowa)

Clay Stetzel is Helena’s agrintelligence technician covering Guthrie Center and Adair, Iowa. He is in charge of managing all application data — ground and aerial, harvest data, mapping, soil sampling and tissue sampling. He always goes above and beyond to get the correct information input and tracked. The majority of this data doesn’t come easy, and a large portion of this information is still downloaded the old fashion way with thumb drives or memory cards.

When it comes to updating soil sample information or tissue sampling data, Clay is the first to be making the calls during late summer or early spring to make sure accurate VRT scripts will be used for fertilizer and seeding recommendations. If a monitor issue arises, no matter the brand, he can be found in the tractor seat helping to get our customers back up and running.
