Are you tired of doing the same thing every year and hoping for better results?

In this episode we share simple tips from farmers who are growing more and spending less. You’ll hear how small changes can make a big difference, how learning from others can speed up your success, and how there are already be valuable nutrients deep in your soil if you know how to use them.

Really, growers can learn from each other’s successes. This episode is a chance to embrace innovation and harness new strategies for ag success.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why some fertility programs work better than others;

• How farmers working together can improve results, and;

• How to unlock hidden potassium in your soil.

If you’re ready to try something new that is working for others, you’ll want to hear this. And if you’re curious to see these strategies in action, come to one of our field days. You’ll meet real farmers, ask questions, and get ideas to take home.

Is Boron the Secret to Higher Yields?

Could just a few ounces of boron be what your crops are missing?

Today we’re talking about boron. A nutrient that can make a big impact. It helps plants build strong cell walls, move sugars, and fix nitrogen. It also plays a big role in pollination and helps crops grow better in hot, dry weather.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why boron is often missing in the soil;

• How to tell if your crops need more, and;

• Simple ways to get better results.

Are your sunflowers really reaching their full potential?

In this episode, Rod teams up with Denny, to break down the science that drives higher yields like how photosynthesis impacts sugar production, and why nutrient timing matters more than ever.

You’ll hear:

• How corn’s photosynthesis process beats sunflowers (and what to do about it);

• Safe starter fertilizer tips for oilseed crops;

• Why early phosphorus is key to stronger stands, and;

• How tissue testing helps guide better decisions.

Today we’re having a conversation with our client Josh. We talk about how he made the shift from traditional dry NPK to a more efficient liquid system for better nutrient management and increased yields.

Our guest opens up, so you’ll learn:

• How he no-tills his farm and uses cover crops;

• How to select the perfect foliar mix; and

• Cutting edge techniques using a drone for foliar feeding.

This has helped Josh grow more while spending less. It’s all about giving your crops exactly what they need.

Think pouring on more nitrogen is the key to big yields? Think again.

Too much nitrogen can backfire, costing you money and hurting your crop. The real win comes from using the right amount at the right time and making sure it works with your whole fertility plan.

Our guest explains how to use nutrients better. You’ll learn:

• Why your crops need a good balance of all nutrients;

• How the right mix of ammonium and nitrate helps corn and wheat; and

• What guessing on fertilizer might be costing you.

Using better timing can help you grow more while spending less. It’s all about working with your crop instead of dumping more on it.

What if you could know your if your corn needs more nitrogen with 97% accuracy? With a PSNT (Pre-Sidedress Nitrogen Test) you can!

Our guest expert shares:

• Why the V4 to V6 stages are so important;

• How the PSNT works; and

• Tips to help you save money and increase corn yields!

If you want to use nitrogen the right way and get more out of your crop, this episode is for you.

Can you really build a strong team just by calling out the good in people?

In this episode, we’re talking about how leading with encouragement can change your farm, your family, and your future. We can’t control the weather or crop prices, but we can control how we respond.

Farming throws plenty of curveballs. When we choose to react with grit, gratitude, and a problem-solving mindset, we create a ripple effect that lifts everyone around us. It’s not about ignoring challenges it’s about choosing to face them the right way.

You’ll hear why positive leadership matters and how small shifts in your words and actions can make a big impact.

Today we’re sharing simple tips to turn problem acres into productive ones. You’ll learn how potassium and magnesium compete in the soil and why weather can make it harder for plants to take in nutrients. With the right plan though, even your toughest fields can do well.

We’ll also cover how foliar feeding helps crops under stress and how cover crops can rebuild soil health. Plus, we’ll talk about specialty crops.

You’ll learn:

• How to farm around sodic and high-mag soils;

• Why foliar feeding helps in tough conditions; and

• How cover crops improve soil.

Not sure how foliar feeding works or what to spray?

We’ve got simple answers that make a big difference.

In this episode, we break down foliar feeding - what it is, how to do it right, and why it matters for your bottom line. We’ll walk you through timing, pressure, volume, and even how the temperature can make or break your results.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why old spray habits could be costing you yield;

• What tissue testing can tell you (and why it matters); and

• The 3 stages to Foliar Feed.

If you want to maximize Foliar Feeding, this episode is for you.
