Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Agronomists, Ep 211: Phosphorus use efficiency with Dan Kaiser and Andrew Margenot
Q: What phosphorus soil test values should you look at for your region, and what tests are most common?
In the Midwest, Bray P1 and Olsen are commonly used, while Melich is becoming more common as labs convert Bray values to Melich; the key is to understand which test you have and how it correlates with crop response, not the exact numerical value across different tests.
The Agronomists, Ep 203: Tar spot control with Stephanie Divitaris and Albert Tenuta
Q: Is tar spot obvious to find, or is it a scavenger hunt like WBC?
It can be difficult to identify at low levels; with experience you recognize certain signs, such as early lesions on lower canopy and the raised tar spots as the disease advances, but confirmation often requires lab checks.
