Understanding your cost of production goes far beyond knowing what you spend on fertilizer. In this episode, Amy Crozier is joined by Eric Olson and Warren Bills from MNP to break down the different elements that make up production costs in grain and why knowing your cost per bushel matters. From gross margins and production expenses to labor, machinery, land and financing, they explore what each piece means and how it can help growers make more informed decisions. They also discuss how agronomic planning and benchmarking can provide a clearer view of margins, the biggest cost drivers in grain today and the growing importance of field- and zone-level decision-making. Tune in to learn what goes into cost of production and how a better understanding of your numbers can help guide decisions across your operation. Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

A political campaign for Charlie?  Ohhhh boy. This could get interesting.

Henry Markarian, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrated Dynamics, joins us this week to explore a technology platform aimed at unlocking new value from existing ethanol infrastructure. Henry shares the founding story behind the company, the problem Integrated Dynamics set out to solve and why its approach to repurposing operating, underused and idle assets could matter in the next phase of the bioeconomy’s growth. Highlights include:  The origin story behind Integrated Dynamics, the market problem it was built to solve and the opportunity the team saw from the beginning. A practical model built on reusing existing ethanol and industrial infrastructure, and why that approach could be especially compelling from both a speed-to-market and cost perspective. How the technology works, including why high temperature matters and how that affects performance, economics and operational design. Henry dives into whether the Integrated Dynamics model introduces additional capital or operating costs and how those factors fit into commercial viability. Strategic rationale for pursuing cellulosic ethanol, including why ethanol remains an important platform within the evolving bioeconomy. How Integrated Dynamics expects to compete, along with the risks and tailwinds he sees shaping the broader market. Winning AgriNovus’ Velocity in 2025 elevated the company’s visibility and credibility and recognition unlocked in subsequent conversations. How the company’s technology could affect farm economics, ecological outcomes, input costs and potential revenue streams if it succeeds at scale. Economics of deploying the model through Greenfield, Brownfield and idle plant strategies, as well as through licensing or joint ventures. Integrated Dynamics' next phase of growth, including how the team may evolve over the next 12 to 24 months.
