Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Timothy Nesheim
Q: Just how big is this? What kind of rock am I looking at?
Tim explains that rock depth and potential production depend on the geology; shallower oil production is around 3000 feet, while some fields go down to 15-16,000 feet, and that forecasting includes both the geology and potential of individual wells.
Joe Ikley
Q: How are resistance dynamics being studied and addressed?
They discuss screening hundreds of populations for dicamba and 2,4-D resistance, using susceptible checks in trials, and exploring cross-state collaborations to build a broader understanding of resistance mechanisms, including metabolic resistance and multiple genes.
Lester Jones
Q: Can you give a little background about yourself and what you do as the VP of Analytics and Chief Economist?
Lester describes his training in economics, early work in consumer research with Nielsen and Arbitron, roles at the Beer Institute and later NBWA, focusing on the economics and demographics that drive beer distribution and consumption. He highlights a career spanning over two decades analyzing what people buy, drink, and how beer is moved through the supply chain—from brewers to distributors to retailers—emphasizing the importance of the centralized distribution network and data-driven insights for industry players.
Reggie Strickland
Q: How does hurricane season impact your crop rotation and harvest schedule?
Hurricane season usually starts in September, so we aim to harvest our cucumbers before then, but corn, soybeans, and tobacco may still be in the fields. We try to harvest as much as possible beforehand, but it depends on the crop maturity.
Reggie Strickland
Q: What do you do with your livestock when a hurricane is approaching?
We prepare by ensuring we have generators ready and tying down everything as best we can, but ultimately, we rely on prayer and hope for the best outcome.
