Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Soil testing strategies with Ryan Benjamins, Jason Hanson, and Mike Palmier | The Agronomists Ep 254
Q: There's just too much variability in soil test results and using removal is more accurate. What are your thoughts on that?
Removal alone ignores economics and long-term fertility trends; most agronomists balance removal with soil tests, considering build-and-maintain strategies and the potential for mineralization, to avoid shorting fields.
Fertilizing forages with Cedric MacLeod and Christine O'Reilly | The Agronomists, Ep 251
Q: What would your fertilizer strategy be if you have forage on sand versus heavy clay?
Soil type affects nutrient retention; sandy soils need nutrients like potassium and sulfur emphasized for retention, with spring applications generally preferred but fall potassium can be advantageous; clay soils hold nutrients better but still benefit from fall potassium and balanced additions.
The Agronomists, Ep 208: The promise of RNAi and CRISPR with Chris Manchur and Liping Wang
Q: Does public perception of CRISPR differ from other genetic modification approaches?
Liping explains that many CRISPR-edited products can be DNA-free in the final plant, which may lead to regulatory and public acceptance differences compared with traditional GMOs, and some countries treat CRISPR-edited crops differently from transgenic GM crops.
The Agronomists, Ep 212: Drying grain with Lorne Grieger and Shawn Schill
Q: What is the recommended maximum temperature change you should target to avoid cooking kernels while still achieving effective drying?
Aim to limit the maximum temperature increase to protect kernel integrity, and tailor the heat to the specific dryer type and crop; for many systems you want a controlled, gradual heat introduction rather than a rapid spike, with plenum and exit temperatures managed to avoid overdrying or scorching.
The Agronomists, Ep 212: Drying grain with Lorne Grieger and Shawn Schill
Q: If a producer is considering going to a dryer, what sort of helpful tips could you give them as to what to consider when making that final choice on size and maintenance?
Evaluate your average harvest day, the grain types you handle, and whether you need flexibility for future expansion. Start with a dryer type that matches your crop mix and daily throughput, and ensure you have adequate storage and wet/dry separation to keep the system balanced and maintain grain quality.
