Kelly just finished his first foliar pass on his contest corn and is in the field with Tommy Roach of Nachurs talking about what is happening with the nutrient demands of his v6 corn as it battles the 100+ temperatures. They also discuss the specific plant triggers that can have a dramatic effect on the growth of the plant.

The XtremeAg team put the Estes XPR2 Concaves to the test last season. The initial "eye-test" results were impressive, but did they really outperform the OEMs enough to deliver a solid ROI? Kevin breaks it down with data from the 2020 barley, wheat, corn and soybean harvest.

Dan is out on his contest corn at around v5-6, laying bands of fertility using his Y Drops and a few Nachurs products.

Lee talks about a new treatment he is using to prevent Fusarium head blight (head scab) from damaging his wheat crop.

Dan talks about what extra nutrients he likes to add in his side dress Y-Drop application and the method he uses to properly solubilizes each.

Soil data and tissue sampling data are used by farmers to make decisions and corrections during the growing season. But, some of the most important factors affecting crop performance are happening under the crop canopy. Kelly discusses the new drone technology from Aker that he is using on his farm this year to look at diseases, insect pressure, nutrient deficiencies, temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2 and O2 levels all under the canopy.

Chad talks with Nick Fleitz , agronomist for Pentair Hypro about the spray tips, patterns, droplet sizes and coverage for his upcoming fungicide application on his R2 soybeans.

Dan is a big fan of y-drops and their precision delivery of nutrients right alongside the stalks. He talks about what he is applying in this 360 Yield Center Y-Drop application.

Heavy residue in Kelly's no-till environment can lead to Physoderma stalk rot. In this video Kelly talks about the trial he is doing with BASF's Veltyma™ to prevent stalk rot from setting in. He also discusses the soybean population trials he is conducting this year and the foliar application he is delivering using a mix of products from TEVA Corporation, AgXplore and Hefty Naturals.
