Nurturing Your Crops Using a Complete Systems Approach with guest Dave Swain

Listen in to learn about Casey's road into farming, why he got away from conventional farming methods, and how he is integrating some different but very profitable aspects to his farm operation and business

Today's episode is a great story of a man who didn't get a "typical" start in farming. He was essentially thrown into it due to some unforeseen circumstances. It's a story of resilience, grit, challenging status quo and his Journey into Regenerative Farming and Success.

Today's episode is different from the usual agronomy and soil health. This episode's guests are Brad Meyer and Chad Greenlee from My Ag Data and they discuss the time and money savings from digital acreage reporting of both planting and production data.

Today's guest is Dave Swain from Vision Technology Management. In this episode we discuss why nurturing your crop is critical to your success and profitability and how to implement certain practices in accomplishing this goal.

In this episode we discuss improving plant health without the use of fungicides, the importance of the carbon cycle and nutrient balance, and building soils to a functional state.

In this episode we discuss some of the more important points we have learned this growing season. From planting timing/conditions, fungicide results, some of our trials, and phenomenal nitrogen use efficiency results.

How good is this crop? What are the limitations and root causes of diseases and yield loss? What should we be looking for?

In this episode we discuss current agronomy issues - root systems, diseases, brix levels, how to make the proper call to apply a fungicide or not, and how to properly manage and evaluate yield trials

After recent storms that dropped 2-7" of rain over central IL April 26 through April 29th, what can we expect in our fields and what should we be looking for to help answer our questions.

With planting underway across our area and a drastic change in weather, this episode will discuss why sometimes it is perfectly fine to park our planters when weather conditions turn south on us.
