On this episode, the girls talk with Julie Hewitt, executive director of the Illinois Nutrient Research & Education Council. Our conversation spans across nutrient research being done to address environmental concerns, optimize nutrients, and utilize emerging technology. We talk about cover crops and the adoption of those practices, peer-reviewed research being done, voluntary adoption, maximum return to nitrogen, and so much more on this information packed episode!

Putting the Science & Research Into It

Girls Talk Ag features Jennifer Campbell, a farmer and blogger, Karen Corrigan, an independent agronomist and business owner, and Kelsey Litchfield, an agriculture digital media consultant. With their perfect mix of experience and personality, the girls get together to discuss what’s currently on in agriculture! The trio may not always be politically correct, but always honest when plowing through the manure online.

News & Politics

Karen, Jen, and Kelsey are back with another episode! They discuss time management, and wonder how they are going to get "all the things done" with a new grandbaby, a new puppy, and just simply a busy schedule. The gals talk about their favorite planners and then jump into the Groundhog's prediction....will it really be an early spring? We aren't ready for planting yet! Then, they discuss how they utilize the popular Chat GPT platform. Don't forget to follow GTA on Facebook and X!

Springing into Productivity?

Karen and Kelsey share their New Year aspirations, focusing on habit-building rather than resolutions. They also share winter agronomy meetings they'll be attending in January and February, highlighting a mix of in-person, hybrid, and virtual meetings across Illinois and the U.S. They'll also be attending Commodity Classic for the first time in Houston. Let them know if you'll be attending too!

Cold Weather Conversations: Winter Meetings We'll Be Attending in 2024

It's been awhile....but the gals are back to give us a harvest update! Karen, Jennifer, and Kelsey also discuss a highly debatable topic of unloading the grain card on the road, when to put up your Christmas decorations, and more. Tune in!

All Aboard the Hot Mess Express...

In this episode, the gals dig into the crucial topic of safety and prevention. Jen raises important questions about alternatives to entering the grain bin and how to address safety concerns effectively. Transitioning to crop-specific topics, we discuss fungicide season and the application of ground rigs and aerial spraying. In a lighthearted conclusion, Karen shares her review on the Barbie movie. And we want your input! We are planning future podcast episodes and a series on safety. If you have ideas on what safety topics we are missing or have guest recommendations, please message us on Facebook or Twitter - @GirlsTalkAg.

Prioritizing Safety and Prevention - We Need Your Input!

It's July....so the gals are talking wheat harvest, double-cropping soybeans, county fair season, 4-H projects, and more. Also, we are in search of fulfilling a bucket list item - participating in cotton harvest!
