Jason Stewart TechAg has over 25 years of experience working with soils across both the environmental and agricultural sectors. His background includes environmental site assessments, soil classification, and remediation of salt-water and emulsion-contaminated sites, giving him a strong foundation in soil chemistry and disturbance impacts.
