  • Still farming at 82

    All the farmers needed this program 60 years ago when we (wife and I) started farming. There would have been a lot of changes in our farming operation for the better.

  • The Hefty Brothers are fantastic advocates to agriculture

    I have been listening to these guys for a few years now. I have seen first hand better results with my crops and yields. It’s always the little things that you don’t think of that make the difference. There’s normally never an episode where I don’t have a light bulb moment and go “yes I forgot about that” or “I wonder if I analyse my data better, will I see something similar to what they are talking about?”.

    So glad I found this podcast and listen daily!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

09 11 26 Farmer Friday!
Q: Which do you plant first, corn or beans?
Plant corn first in the spring and then start some beans; you can finish with corn if desired, but planting corn early followed by beans usually works well.
09 18 26 Farmer Friday!
Q: How should I approach moisture management and drying to optimize profits and minimize losses?
Use a balance: accept a small dock for moisture if it prevents large hidden losses from over-drying; prefer drying strategies that maintain bean moisture in the 12-14% range and minimize field losses, especially with corn.
09 16 26 Increasing Winter Survival in Winter Wheat
Q: What about seeding rate recommendations for northern plains regions?
In North Dakota, recommended pure live seed rates range from about 1.0 to 1.2 million per acre, with flexibility to slightly lower or raise depending on moisture and forecasted conditions; the key is not to overdo it but ensure enough stand establishment for fall growth.
09 16 26 Increasing Winter Survival in Winter Wheat
Q: How can you make winter survival better? Do you have some tips for us today?
Start with field cleanliness (burn down to eliminate green material), ensure solid drainage and fertility, seed at appropriate timing and rates, use good seed treatments and consider fall fungicides where appropriate. The examples from the guests emphasize cleanup, proper seeding rates, and soil nutrient management as core levers for survival.
09 17 26 Soil Fertility Ratios
Q: What should be done for soils with high magnesium or heavy texture?
Improve drainage (tile), adjust spacing to increase root zones, and consider a gradual cation adjustment approach (adding calcium or potassium to shift the ratio away from magnesium), while monitoring long-term changes.
