Brandon Christiansen
Crawford Valley Farms, Plainview Nebraska
A Growing Operation; Underperforming Equipment
In 2022, Brandon Christiansen was in his 14th season working with Crawford Valley Farms. The farm has been fertigating since 2004.
As the operation grew, it became more and more important to find ways to be efficient with their processes.
“The systems that we used before were constant monitoring, constant repair. We didn’t have time for that anymore, and we needed something that was going to be much more reliable.”
Another problem the operation encountered was effectively fighting insects.
“We haven’t had to fight spider mites in a long time. But…with planes, ground rigs or helicopters, you’re not going to get down there…those insects like to migrate in the bottom leaves.”

Saving Time, Better ROI
In 2016, Brandon and Crawford Valley made a change.
It saves unbelievable amounts of time. You set them. You forget them. They’re reliable. They do their job.”
More than just a time saver, Brandon noticed a significantly improved ROI using Agri-Inject systems.
Which way is cheaper? Chemigation and it’s not even close. Our yields have gone up. You can put any nutrient on at any time, at any time of day…any time doesn’t matter.”
