When crops experience water stress their ability to absorb nutrients and perform essential physiological functions becomes compromised. Kelly found a mobile irrigation solution with the help of NutraDrip.

Kelly's blunt assessment of his water is: It Really Sucks. What he did not realize was that it was changing the properties of his soil for the worse. That all changed when he installed his first drip system. He talks with Damian Mason and Kurt Grimm from NutraDrip about how he is slowly reversing the negative effects of his water on the soil.

What has Kelly learned from 8 years of subsurface drip irrigation on his farm? He talks to Damian about the lessons he has learned, many of which are applicable to all farmers, regardless of whether they utilize irrigation.

Seems like it is pretty common knowledge that when the corn starts rolling, it is time to turn on the irrigation. But, what if you can produce nearly the same yields with half the water use? Matt is fixin' to find out this season in this test he is running in his irrigated corn.

Your crops emerged, you have an even stand, and you’re feeling pretty good about things. Now what? Well, now is the time to focus on plant health. What nutrients do your fledgling crops need and when do they need them? How can you tell whether or not your crops are as healthy as they should be? What’s the yield penalty you take for missing cues your crops are giving you about their health? The guys from XtremeAg share their early season plant health practices at the May 4th webinar.

In Fall of 2021, Miles Farms installed drainage tile on 35 acres as a trial with ADS. Drainage tile isn’t used in the Arkansas Delta where Matt and Layne Miles farm. However, they didn’t stick plastic pipe in the ground just to be different. Matt and Layne explain the early results of their drainage and irrigation install.
