Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What a Farmer Wants You to Know About Food -- Dennis Bulani
Q: What motivated you to start the research and write the book?
The motivation came from frustration with ongoing myths at conferences and media misperceptions about farming. I wanted to use replicated research and clear data to show what actually improves yields and farm profitability, and to give farmers concrete tools to explain these issues to consumers.
The Great Canadian Bull with Robert Andjelic
Q: What are your thoughts around the Iowa scenario where the price of Saskatchewan follows that of Iowa farmland two years later?
Robert notes that Saskatchewan has been pricing in broader North American dynamics, with inter-state/cross-border patterns likely to converge over time; he highlights debt, drought, and regional supply constraints as drivers and suggests monitoring profitability and liquidity rather than chasing short-term price parallels.
On the Bone Trail Ep 1: What Farming Does to Fathers
Q: Jeff, what does your life look like as both a father and as a son?
It's about living in both worlds—carrying lessons from my dad while shaping a future where my kids can step in, either through farming or through trades that reinforce the farm's resilience.
Before You Spray: 3 Things That Could Cost You Money This Season
Q: What are the top three factors that decide whether the product lands where it's supposed to?
The top three are wind/inversions (delay or invert timing), droplet size (favoring coarse sprays with air-induction tips), and adequate water volume to maintain droplet density for coverage and drift control.
Your Soil Type Is Costing You Yield
Q: Greg, can I ask a question here? So you're saying there's all these different soil types that we need to identify. But if I'm a producer, how do I know where to draw the line?
Explain that site-specific sampling is essential to map variability, avoid over- or under-application, and that you should benchmark certain areas of the farm to guide variable-rate decisions.
