Tim and Mick sit down with Chris Reimers with Settje Agri-Engineering to discuss integrating livestock manure into an overall fertility plan. How can you assess manure nutrients? How do you go about supplementing manure with commercial fertilizer to balance out your fertility program? We sit down to answer these questions and more.

Mick and Tim sit down with Marie Krausnick and Dan Leininger for a Part 2 episode on how CVA and the NRD are playing roles in managing nitrate levels. Learn what the NRD has discovered and how you can play a role in managing nitrate levels.

Mick and Tim sit down with Marie Krausnick and Dan Leininger with the Upper Big Blue Natural Resource District to talk CVA and the NRD’s roles in maximizing nitrogen use efficiency. They discuss their approaches to minimize nitrate leaching loss and we discuss using cover crops, nitrification inhibitors and split application of N to maximize the N we can get into our crops while minimizing what we lose into our groundwater.

Last week on SOIL TALK, we talked about Grid Sampling and the impact that can make on your fields. This week we are going to turn the tables and discuss the information you could be receiving through Zone Sampling! Get in contact with your Field Sales Agronomist to see how this can be a benefit to your operation!

It all comes back to the basics. With precision ag we look at a lot of information but that basic building block is still a solid grid sample, that is full of information about the land you grow.

On this Episode of SOIL TALK, we are taking a more in-depth look into Starter Fertilizer. How to apply it, and which products make sense for the benefit of a small plant while protecting germination and plant establishment. What nutrients should we consider in a starter fertilizer? Does it make sense to apply starters in-furrow or is some other placement option a better choice?

Did you miss the ACS Innovation Series? Do you want more information on the products we tested and what we recommend? Then this is the episode for you! SOIL TALK takes you through the Innovation Series and explains what we are seeing in the plots.

Throughout the past 10 episodes of SOIL TALK, we have discussed individual nutrients, different fertility programs, and how we make our recommendations. Now we have the opportunity to apply these topics at our ACS Innovation Series. On this episode, we will talk about soil fertility and how we see it in the individual plots. Stay tuned and RSVP for the ACS Innovation Series to learn more!

Now on SOIL TALK, we are going to get into micronutrients on their own. Everyone tends to throw everything under one umbrella, but we have a priority list of what we like to see in corn and beans. Stay tuned to learn more!

This time on SOIL TALK, we are going to go to the other side of pH and talk about low pH with our guest Mick Goedeken, Innovation Specialist with Central Valley Ag. We will discuss what low pH is and how we recommend to correct it for the short term and long term goals.
