  • 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 28 26 Zinc and Copper
Q: So what do you see as a great ratio in the soil?
Bill Brush cites the Albrecht-Kinsey model and says fields with high phosphate should also have high zinc, while fields low in phosphate should not have excessive zinc. He emphasizes interpreting the figures according to the soil-test method and building the nutrients together.
10 28 26 Zinc and Copper
Q: When you're looking at some of those fertility programs, maybe getting some soil tests now after harvest, where do you see these zinc and copper levels playing into this whole factor of going into next year?
Bill Brush says zinc must be balanced with phosphorus, especially when phosphate levels are high, and that soil applications support soil microbiology as well as the crop. He describes foliar applications as useful supplements, particularly when moisture or rapid growth limits nutrient uptake.
10 29 26 Corn Herbicides
Q: Can a spike-type aeration tool help with compaction in alfalfa and grass hay, or would it damage the stand?
Brian says spike aeration may be worth trying in grass hay, but warns against using it in alfalfa because damaged plants may not recover; severe compaction in perennial stands may require rotating the field into another crop.
10 29 26 Corn Herbicides
Q: Can pulling soil samples in dry soil change test results?
Brian says severe dryness can make soil pH read about 0.1 to 0.5 lower and potassium somewhat lower, rather than causing nutrient spikes.
10 30 26 Farmer Friday!
Q: How can a farmer reduce soybean lodging on highly productive soils?
Brian recommends a shorter, standable variety, reducing population to roughly 100,000 to 120,000 plants in the most productive areas, and ensuring adequate potassium and other nutrients.
