Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Driving the Transition Train The Farmland Exit
Q: What is the four-step framework and why is it important to define the relationship up front?
The four-step framework starts with defining the relationship and confidentiality, then discovery of all assets and relationships, followed by building a blueprint with multiple options, and finally delivering a path to market when the client is ready; this structure creates clarity and reduces uncertainty for both sellers and buyers.
What Farmers Want Agscouter Edition
Q: On average, how long does it take to input information into the app?
Inputting observations is quick (around 30 seconds per entry) when pre-populated lists are used, and the setup can leverage existing field data from other platforms to minimize manual entry.
Countdown to Convergence Conference: Matt Havens Keynote
Q: What should attendees expect from your talks and what are the main takeaways you want them to walk away with?
The core takeaway is recognizing the abundance of noise, prioritizing what truly matters, and using humor and empathy to engage audiences, resulting in clearer priorities and better energy in teams.
