  • Educational but…

    Interesting & educational. Always great guests. One of the hosts tends to talk over the others. I would give it 5 stars but the hosts spend too long chatting at the beginning- have to fast forward a few minutes - and for some reason there’s about 2 minutes of music at the end.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Niche Gran Markets with Adam Barnes
Q: Before we spill everything away, Adam, just take a few minutes and tell a little bit about yourself and your background, your farm background, your life growing up, and how you got to where you're at today.
Adam describes growing up around farming in Crittenden and Livingston Counties, returning to family lands, and gradually building a diversified operation focused on heritage grains, open-pollinated varieties, and eventually organic certification and a small-meal manufacturing setup.
CPH and PVAP Beef Programs with Kevin Laurent
Q: PVAP stands for what, and what is the program trying to achieve?
PVAP, now Advanced PVAP, is a program designed to help producers who routinely precondition and prewean calves to quantify the financial and performance benefits of those practices, building a database of outcomes to advocate for and refine the approach.
Crop Conditions with Chad Lee
Q: Chad, give us a little update on the research center and the things that are going on there right now?
Chad describes the new state-of-the-art facilities, including sheds, a field lab, graduate housing, a new shop and ag chemical handling facilities, and the overall trajectory of improving infrastructure to support row crop research and student training.
Soybean Diseases with Dr. Carl Bradley
Q: What about the best timing and method for applying fungicides to control frog-eye leaf spot?
The best timing depends on variety resistance and environmental conditions; for susceptible varieties under favorable conditions, begin scouting around R1-R2 and consider fungicide applications around R3 if lesions are present. Coverage is crucial, regardless of method, and higher water volumes (15-20 gallons per acre) with proper nozzle selection improve the chance of good canopy penetration.
Soybean Diseases with Dr. Carl Bradley
Q: Carl, talk a little bit about resistant varieties and how they influence management, especially for frog-eye leaf spot.
Resistant varieties, especially those with high resistance ratings, can significantly reduce frog-eye leaf spot pressure, sometimes reducing the need for fungicides. For susceptible varieties, scouting is essential starting around R1 and continuing through R2, to decide if and when to apply fungicides around R3, particularly in wet, humid years.
