The soil doesn't care about tradition.
I’m Adam Kuznia, and I’ve built a career realizing one thing: The "standard way" of doing things is often not the best way for you.
I founded True Grit Agronomy because in an industry full of marketing claims and "trust me" credentials, I want to find the truth. I don’t trust the brochure. I do trust the scale.
The True Grit Philosophy
Agriculture is changing faster than ever. Shrinking or negative margins mean we can’t afford to guess. My approach is simple:
-
Ask the Hard Questions: If a practice doesn't prove its ROI in a real-world trials, we question its place on your farm.
-
Follow Data, Not Trends: We don't "spread and pray." We follow soil health and yield data toward a specific goal.
-
Tell the Whole Truth: Through my newsletters and YouTube channel, I share the wins, the losses, and the "ugly" data that the big companies like to hide.
What We Offer: Mobile, On-Farm Agronomy & Consulting
In Minnesota and the Dakotas, all across the Red River Valley, we offer on-site agronomy services to scan your soil at a resolution the co-op can't match, test the biology to see if anything down there is actually working, and write fertility plans based on what we find.
We help with cost-share programs to offset the investment. When it's time to execute, we've got drones for foliar application, cover crop seeding, and nutrient efficiency products.
All consulting is mobile. We meet you at your shop or in the field.
Got dirt and questions? Let’s talk.

Bio
I spent 20 years inside the system. Farming. Selling seed. Writing zone maps. Scouting crops. Somewhere in there, products started showing up that claimed they could do things the old system couldn't. So I started testing them. That led to nitrogen trials, soil biology work, and a whole lot of questions few people around me were asking. Why are we spending what we're spending? Why does the zone map change every year if the soil doesn't move? Why is nobody testing whether this stuff actually works?
Nobody liked those questions. But the answers built a business.
