Led by Adam Litle, CEO, Sound develops innovative crop solutions. Its first commercial product, SOURCE™, was launched last year to unlock nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil, supporting plant and soil health, and on-farm efficiency. By harnessing existing nutrients in the field, Source provides an average corn yield increase of 8-10 bushels per acre without requiring more fertilizer.
