Farming

Kevin Matthews and Matt Miles talk about biologicals and their plans for spring applied biology with Concept AgriTek's Mark Glastetter while at the 2023 National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

Mike is taking soil samples for some new soil diagnostic tools that he'll be employing on Kelly Garrett's farm to get more insights into soil biology, diversification, mineralization, and more.

After playing at home last season, Temple is excited to be in the 2023 Wheat Wager with the XtremeAg guys. He's got his sights set on taking down one of the XtremeAg guys in particular, and he's got a good reason. In addition to the trash talk, he also talks in depth about his wheat growing program.

With wheat prices looking good and a hopper full of lessons gleaned from this year’s "Wheat Wager,” the guys from XtremeAg have big plans for wheat in 2023. They’ll explain what they learned from 2022, the products and practices that worked (or didn’t!), and what they’re doing to improve upon last year in our Wheat Webinar.

Lee Lubbers is all about soil biology. He is also consistently one of the top wheat producers in the country. Damian talks with Lee and Brian and Brad from ProFarm (formerly Marrone Bio Innovations) about how he uses biologicals in his wheat crop to not only deliver higher yields, but to keep his soil full of life.

Temple Rhodes farms on Maryland’s eastern shore, operates a couple other business ventures, and he’s now contributing to XtremeAg. Throughout the season we’ll tune in to see what Mr. Rhodes is doing with fungicide treatments, seed plots, and micronutrient products to increase fertility uptake — a big issue for his geography. Because Temple farms in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, he’s under an environmental microscope. Enjoy meeting Temple and hear about how he runs his operation to “never become complacent.”

The XtremeAg team will each discuss a problem, solution, big idea, new technology, area of focus, or new methodology they’re implementing this spring. Our industry expert presenter will be Robb Dedman of Ultimate Ag Consulting. As usual, Robb and the XA guys will be accessible for questions, explanations, and deeper dives into the subject matter during this interactive event. Join us for insights and inspiration to make your farm prosper!

Matt and Robbo provide an update on their wheat crop and talk about the applications they have made thus far.

Lee Lubbers is getting down and dirty in his wheat crop to talk about root mass, disease and pest control. He shows you what he looks for and why he likes what he sees so far despite the historically low levels of soil moisture.
