Eric Snodgrass
Principal Atmospheric Scientist | Nutrien Ag Solutions
Growing up in Central Illinois, Eric didn’t feel a powerful draw to become a meteorologist – he was simply fascinated with applied physics and math, and decided to give the field a try when he started college, because he didn’t have a better idea.
“I was terrible at mathematics and physics coming out of high school, but I had some great teachers who gave me a real appreciation for it,” he recalls. “When I got into college and started taking meteorology courses. I got lucky and I picked right: I ended up loving it, and I’m still fascinated by it to this day.”
He spent most of his career in academics, but along the way he leveraged his research to start a company that became Agrible – a Champaign, Illinois-based, high- tech agronomic forecasting business that Nutrien acquired in 2018. A few months later, Eric was invited to join Nutrien as Science Fellow and Principal Atmospheric Scientist – and the rest is history.
