Physical. Chemical. Biological. Dr. Jim Ippolito of The Ohio State University explains soil health like human health: it takes all three together. Episode #86: Soil Health vs. Fertility? Stop Picking a Side. is now live >> open.spotify.com/episode/7up…

A pH around 8. A tanker coated in rust by the end of the season. That’s what Creed Gunn’s water was doing before he put in a reverse osmosis system. Do you know what’s in your spray water? Hear how Creed fixed his on the CropCast>> bwfusion.com/cropcast

An overlooked input in your sprayer isn’t in the jug. It’s the water. Hard water, high pH and bicarbonates can undo a spray program before it ever leaves the tank.  New Crop Cast is out today. Hear why Creed says fix the water first>> open.spotify.com/episode/6ng…

Can you mine the soil? Depends who you ask. The same old measurements won't tell us. What are we actually measuring, and what are we actually losing, if anything? Episode #84: What Does "Mining the Soil" Really Mean? is now live >> open.spotify.com/episode/5E6…

Residue either works for you. Or it costs you. Bent stalks. Hairpinning. Lost stand. Break it down right and you're in the field earlier next spring. New Crop Cast is live: Turn Residue Into Revenue>> open.spotify.com/episode/19G…

If you think you know herbicides, this episode might just make you think again.  One of Sean Nettleton’s past-life passion projects meets the dedicated life’s work of Purdue Botany & Plant Pathology professor Dr. Bryan Young. This special episode of Crop Cast goes beyond the basics to unpack what’s changing in herbicide management and what growers need to be paying attention to.  Ep. #82: spotifycreators-web.app.link…

The scale is to human health as the yield monitor is to crop health. Both tell you what happened, but neither tells you the whole story. So, can ROI actually be measured in the combine? In this episode of The Crop Cast, @sean_nettleton  and @maurer_logan  break down the leading indicators that can tell you what’s happening in your crop before harvest, from stem diameter and tissue tests to soil tests and root development. Because if yield is the only number you use to measure ROI, you might be waiting too long to find out what worked. Listen to the full length episode now: open.spotify.com/episode/2XN…

Every pass should have measurable ROI. Especially this late in the season.   This timely agronomy deep-dive with @MasonClaude5, @Jaren_Schley, and @sean_nettleton offers visual examples of what to measure, how to use the data, and what to do to finish the season strong. Episode #79: The Prescription: Making Every Late-Season Input Count is now live! open.spotify.com/episode/6r4…

One of the worst ways to make a nitrogen decision? Relying solely on a tissue test. If you’re trying to make better fertility decisions, @JoshMesser_Ag breaks down the soil sampling protocols that will uniquely fit your operation—and how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to poor nitrogen management. All in episode #78: open.spotify.com/episode/4aO…

The benefits of a strong residue degradation plan aren't always obvious. The real indicator? The biological activity happening within your soil structure. In Crop Cast Episode #77, @MasonClaude5 dives into the season's residue trials, breaking down every measurement and what they reveal about true residue management success. If you want to understand what actually matters (and what doesn't) this episode is worth the listen. 🎧 Episode #77 👉 spotifycreators-web.app.link…

“Are we actually doing something that drives residue breakdown, or are we just following a practice because we've always done it?” Dr. Cassidy Million brings her expertise on residue management to Crop Cast Episode #77, challenging long-held assumptions with insights backed by modern research. If you're ready to question conventional practices and discover what actually influences residue breakdown, this episode is for you 👉 spotifycreators-web.app.link…

Up to 30% of your crop's energy is being spent processing nitrate instead of filling grain? That's critical time and energy lost. A fascinating deep dive into the physiology behind a strong finish, all in Ep. #76: spotifycreators-web.app.link…
