Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Weathering the Conversation: Climate, Forestry, and Communication
Q: What are the biggest gaps in understanding climate change among audiences?
Gaps include jargon and the specific meaning of terms like 'normal' and 'uncertainty,' as well as confusion between climate variability and long-term trends; the need to translate complex science into relatable, actionable information for diverse audiences.
Between the Rows and the Rules: Updates on ESA and Dicamba
Q: What practical steps should growers take to improve spray accuracy and safety?
Use very large droplets (ultra coarse), keep boom height at or below 24 inches, add a Drift Reduction Adjuvant and Vapor Reduction Agent, avoid AMS in Dicamba mixes, avoid aerial applications, monitor wind conditions, and ensure temperature-related restrictions are followed two days ahead.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Center Pivot: Pivot Care for Winter
Q: What should farmers consider when deciding to expand irrigated acres or add a new well?
First check permit limits with Georgia EPD, ensure you have legal capacity to expand, and verify water availability for the extra acres. If expanding, plan which crops to allocate water to and work with a reputable irrigation dealer to design the system properly to meet new flow requirements.
Don’t Fear the Shears: Pecan Pruning 101
Q: What is the best time to prune pecan trees and why?
Winter is preferred because the absence of leaves allows clear visualization of the tree's structure, aiding the selection of a central leader and better long-term growth planning.
Windrows and Wingbeats: Crop Residue for Cattle and the Benefits of Bats
Q: Can you bust some of the myths around bats, especially the rabies concern?
Bats do carry rabies, but fewer than 1% of bats in the wild are thought to have rabies, and most bite incidents are related to handling injured or sick bats; safe handling and professional help are advised, and bat health should be tested if there is potential exposure.
