Temple and Kelly are each doing 40 acre labs with AgXplore using the company’s new ArchiTech — a foliar fertility product that contains a plant growth regulator. The product is the first EPA approved fertility PGR combo and its promise is time saving, ease of use, and bigger yields of course. Gunther Kreps and Jason Fettig with AgXplore join Temple and Kelly to explain.

Chad talks about the economic and fertility benefits that he sees from his strip-till acres, the difference in how you are applying fertility and what it means in terms of being more aggressive with your nutrient management program.

Chad Henderson and Molly Alexander from AgroLiquid talk to Damian Mason about 4 big things that farmers should think about in order to get the most bang for their buck when farming on soils with lower cation exchange capacities.

Are your plants hormone imbalanced? There is probably a good chance they are. Damian talks with Chad Henderson and Dale Hanke from Stoller about what you need to know about the 5 principal hormone families. What their roles are and how to manage them to maximize plant health.

Kelly Garrett devoted much of his attention in 2022 to reducing stress on his crops. Temple Rhodes learned from what he saw his Iowa friend do and is now taking it to the next level. “I want to build a factory that can withstand a tornado,” Temple says as he describes steps he’s taking this season to maximize returns and protect his yield in a year that’s predicted to be a rough one, weather wise. Some steps Temple is taking: reducing planted population, changing up plant growth regulators, and holding back late season passes if weather problems reduce the payoff. What is your 2023 farming focus? Listen to this for inspiration!

We are talking about micronutrient adjustments made based on the prior year's tissue sampling data from a different type of crop. Chad and Molly talk to Damian Mason about how they are using last year's corn tissue sampling results to make adjustments to this year's wheat crop.

Les Lloyd, Agronomist at AgriGold talks with Damian and Chad about how he is using drones in the fields he helps to manage and why you should consider using a drone to help scout your fields.

High yielding soybeans require different treatment — and a different mindset — than what is required to produce average soybeans. High yielding soybeans typically come from stout plants with a plethora of pods. To make plants like that, you have to stack your nodes tightly on the main stem. Matt Miles and Temple Rhodes tell Damian how they go about getting a node dense plant that rings the bell on soybean yields. From planting time to product application they explain how to get some serious soybean ROI.

A common theme among the XtremeAg guys is the quest for stress-free crops. Kevin shares the practices and products he turns to to keep his plants from getting stressed out. He was an early adopter on plant growth regulators, he’s been experimenting with biologicals for years, and he now realizes he wasn’t using products to their full stress -reducing capacity early on. If you’re losing yield to preventable stress (and trust us, you are!), this is the episode for you.

We don’t do garden plots at XtremeAg, we do legit, large scale trials. This year, Kelly and Temple each have 40 acre lab trials with AgXplore — Temple is doing soybeans and Kelly is doing corn. The guys explain what they are trying to find, what they are using, what they are already seeing, and most importantly, what they will deem as success.
