If you were to tell God your plans, he would probably laugh and say buckle up because you're in for a wild ride! 

We have Darren Dunham on the podcast this week, a fellow crop consultant in North Dakota and he shares his story of where life has taken him. It's only the cliff notes in the scheme of what Darren's story is, but we really enjoyed what he shared with us. 

Then as any agronomist would do, we deviate and talk agronomy. Darren's approach to helping his clients is one we all need to listen to and think about. 

We take 3 questions off AGvisorPRO this week to answer:

1) If I till in the fall and direct seed in the spring, is that considered conservation tillage? 

2) Are EDTA chelated nutrients the proper form for foliar nutrition?

3) Dry or Liquide Soybean Inoculant, what is best?

You had 2 shows last week, now you get 2 question in one show this week!

2 recent questions that came into AGvisorPRO:

1- What options are there for removing volunteer alfalfa out of field peas?

2 - Is it ok to use 28-0-0 vs Urea + AMS on pasture grass? 

What a great happy hour this week sharing a few drinks with Rick Swenson. Rick is the lead agronomist for Peterson Farm Seeds residing in west central Minnesota. We learn his journey from being a potato agronomist all the way to where he is now. He shares a project that he has been a part of sine coming on board with Peterson Farm Seeds that provides a great summary agronomy insights that everyone can find useful.  Also a fun story you'll have to listen all the way to the end for about how rick is a Guinness World Record holder....for now anyways...

Ground vs Air, is one superior over the other for fungicide in wheat? 

This was a very detailed question that was asked on AGvisorPRO weighing out as many variables as possible; asking if removing the cost of application, is the efficacy of spraying fungicide through a ground rig that much better where it makes up for the wheel track loss? 

We talk through this and share our thoughts. 

Buckle in for a Monday version of the $H!T you need to know! A question originating off of the AGvisorPRO app in Alberta asking about non-glyphosate pre-seed burn down options in front of cereals. 

What considerations need to be made when transitioning to a corn-soybean no-till system? A great question that came from AGvisorPRO with a lot of great responses on the app, and now you get to hear our response!

The borders open...Agronomists Happy Hour goes North!

 We re-united with our friends from Winfield United Canada in Saskatoon for their Agronomy Academy and have happy hour!

When is the right time to apply boron in high production wheat? A great question that came recently from AGvisorPRO. Just a couple of morons talking about boron. 

We have the pleasure to share a beer with Rodrigo Werle and Joe Ikley the night before the NDSU Wild World of Weeds Workshop at Drekker Brewing in Fargo, ND. Rodrigo shares his path from Brazil to Wisconsin and the weed resistance issues they face and how they are combating it.
