  • 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.

08 28 26 Farmer Friday
Q: What moisture should you start picking at to balance test weight and dock when high-moisture corn is stored without drying capacity?
Start harvesting at progressively lower moisture levels (20%, then 18-19%, then 17%) to test costs and losses, using experience to balance dock and test weight; aim to test around 15-17% moisture in storage when possible to minimize dock and losses.
08 26 26 Fertilizing Winter Wheat
Q: What are practical considerations for weed control when fertilizing winter wheat in fall?
Implement a fall burn down with PPO products, consider a light rate of residuals like Zidua or Winger for early season weed control, and balance with nitrogen timing to avoid stressing seedlings.
08 26 26 Fertilizing Winter Wheat
Q: How important is early phosphorus to winter wheat, and how should you apply it?
Phosphorus is essential early to build crown reserves and establish tillers before dormancy; in many cases broadcast P is used, with the seed treatment NutriCharge LST helping retain soluble phosphorus and improve early availability.
08 26 26 Fertilizing Winter Wheat
Q: Where do you start with nitrogen management for winter wheat when planting versus spring green up?
Start with a soil test, check organic matter, and assess existing nitrogen; in drier climates or heavy soils you may front-load more N, but many growers split N between fall and spring to balance tillering and avoid excessive fall tillering.
08 25 26 Root Rot in Pulse Crops
Q: What are effective weed control strategies for pastures if Crossbow isn't ideal for thistles?
Use Milestone or Tordon for long residual thistle control; for short-term control, Distinct can provide burn-down with some dicamba, and ensure proper product choice based on target species and duration.
