  • 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.

10 05 26 Building and Managing Soil Phosphorus
Q: What are the key agronomic steps to manage phosphorus this year given high prices?
Focus on precise soil testing, use targeted placements like banding or starter phosphorus, manage pH and drainage to improve availability, and consider product options (e.g., NutriCharge) to slow tie-up and improve root uptake.
10 12 26 Corn Rootworm Resistance
Q: What is the first step to address corn rootworm resistance, and how important is scouting?
Scouting is essential as a starting point; identify pressure through field observations and sampling, then tailor a program that may include trait rotation, in-furrow insecticides, and rotation of chemistries to slow resistance.
10 07 26 Soybean Diseases
Q: Is there value in using zywe in soybeans for red crown rot environments?
Zywe is labeled for control of charcoal rot, frog-eye leaf spot, and septoria brown spot, but there are no current label claims for red crown rot; it can still be part of a broader strategy but not a targeted solution for that disease.
10 07 26 Soybean Diseases
Q: What are some tips for soybean diseases going into next year, especially for residue or plants with infections this year?
Rotate crops, consider tillage to reduce inoculum, choose seed treatments that cover multiple seedling pathogens, scout early and often, and plan foliar sprays in the reproductive window to suppress late-season diseases.
10 02 26 Farmer Friday!
Q: How should we approach soil sulfur and manganese improvements when pH and test results vary by test method?
Test sulfur and manganese carefully, consider sulfate forms for mobility and uptake, and be mindful that DTPA tests may underestimate manganese at higher pH; use Mailec 3 or similar tests as a more representative measure to guide fertilizer decisions.
