On this episode of The Cotton Club Podcast, I have a discussion w/ FBN‘s Farmers Success Manager, Diana DeHart, and we discuss a wide variety of topics including FBN’s 2025 Planting Intentions Poll, Market Advisory Services, and 5 Important Tasks to be Successful in 2025 (see below).

We also discussed the tarrifs, what we are seeing in different markets (corn, soybeans, cotton, etc.), and our market advisory services at Farmers Business Network.

5 Important Tasks to be Successful in 2025

On this episode I was driving back to central Arkansas after spending the day in Mississippi. The snow was starting to move into the area as Christiaan Horn and I discussed our Community Builder program at Farmers Business Network as well as the importance of the mix order when working with multiple herbicides and tank mixes. We also discussed our Farmers First trials we did in the Mississippi delta this season with Nourish Vitals and Atarrus. Near the end of the show we also mention all of the financing options that are available to growers.

As promised in the show, here are some of the photos from Christiaan’s trials…

On this episode of The Cotton Club podcast I have a conversation w/ Will Scott, our area FBN agronomist. On this show we discuss a variety of topics including; making crop plans, looking forward to the 2025 growing season, selecting seed varieties, biological products from FBN, and what we are hearing on the streets about planting intentions for the 2025 season. We also touch on financing and as a special bonus I’m finally sharing some of my stories intermittently on the show moving forward. Hope you enjoy!

In this video demonstration I walk you through the process of adding Featured Content to your website or blog.  The Featured Content area, as shown in the video, is the centerpiece of your website where Images are scrolled through and content is pulled in from each featured post and displayed in a layer above the image.  Visitors to your website immediately know that the content found in this area is “featured” and “important”.  To get to these “featured posts” the visitor simply clicks on the image and it takes them directly to that post.

There are three things to remember when adding Featured Content to your website.  The first thing is that in order for your content to show up in this center area, it must be in the “featured” category.  There are two other elements that are required for the images to show up properly inside this centerpiece area, the “articleimg” or Article Image, this is the large image that immediately greets the visitor when they logon to your website.  You will want to make sure to resize whatever image you use for your “articleimg” to make sure that it fits the particular design of your website.  The last component is the “thumbnail”, this is a smaller image that is used alongside the listing of your post on the homepage of the website.  The “thumbnail” also has a specific size that it needs to be so that it doesn’t break or mess up your layout.

Here’s the video demonstrating the addition of these two components, sorry for the low volume on the video…
