Emma Chrystall has joined Catalyst Performance Agronomy as sales agronomist for Ruapehu, Rangitikei, Manawatu & Hawkes Bay. 

Based in Taihape, Chrystall brings a wealth of experience to the role, with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (First Class Honours) from Lincoln University and five years of experience as a technical field officer with Farmlands Hawke’s Bay.

Her specialisations include summer cropping, autumn re-grassing, and a range of crops like maize, fodder beet, brassicas, and cereals.
