Agronomists Happy Hour

Happy hour this week is with NDSU's Extension Soil Heath Agronomists Dr. Abbey Wick. Lots of fun discussion around communications, soil health, carbon credits, and a little regenerative ag. 

Jason and Kyle finish their discussion from last weeks "Don't Jump" episode. Mostly on weed control programs, some on fungicide, and biologicals. 

Beer this week was from Breckinridge brewing and Bismarck Brewing, so check out the last 5 minutes if you are interested!

As drought conditions persist in most of the area we work in, we wanted to share some of the things we have heard that different farmers are considering and what our opinions are on those decisions. 

Happy Hour this week is with Travis Messer who is the Precision Ag Manager & Agronomist with Plains Grain and Agronomy in Mott ND. Travis shares how the planting season is going in his part of the world in southwestern ND and also shares a wealth of knowledge and experience about planter technology. 

Jason & Kyle share their thoughts and opinions about starter fertilizer during a dry planting season.

Happy hour this week is with Jason Voogt; co-owner of Field-2-Field Agronomy, a crop consulting business serving south central Manitoba. We share a very similar cropping rotation with Jason and get into some great discussion about the upcoming season and what we are anticipating. Lots of great information and a few laughs in this one!

Happy hour this week was spent with Dave Franzen, NDSU's extension soil scientist. He has personally been involved with revising and updating fertility recommendations for North Dakota crops since the early 90's. He has a passion for soil fertility and in our interview we talk some on where Dave started with his career then cover soil amendments, biologicals, and fertilizers.

Jason and Kyle talk through their thoughts about weed management during a dry start to the season. They share experiences and give some pointers that they've experienced during dry weather and weed control. Carryover, reachback, pre's during dry weather are topics discussed. 

The brew talk was recorded in person at Souris River Brewing in Minot, ND. 

Happy hour this week is with John Breker and Jodi Boe, soil scientist and agronomist with Agvise Labs in Northwood ND. These two are excellent resources for anything soils and agronomy but are also just fun to have a conversation with. Topics start at agronomy but go many places, including traveling around locally and globally, so buckle up for a fun hour!

Happy hour this week is with NDSU's Dr. Andrew Friskop who is the state extension small grains pathologists.  We had a lot of fun with Andrew as we geeked out on small grains diseases and had fun talking about his path to becoming the state small grains pathologist.
