We know how important soil fertility is to achieving bigger yields. But — and be honest here — do you really understand what all those numbers and letters on a soil test mean? Do you know the recommended ratios between micronutrients in your soil? Agroliquid’s Back 2 Basics is a video series designed to help farmers maximize their return from the soil testing they’re already doing. Information is power, but only if you know how to use the information. Brian Waugh and Stephanie Zelenko with Agroliquid join XtremeAg’s Chad Henderson to discuss maximizing the return on soil testing by first understanding the test results.

The XtremeAg team shares practices they employ at time of planting to build better yields and make more money. Guest presenter Jason Schley of Next Level Ag expands on planting do’s, don’ts, and lessons he’s gleaned from all the acres he consults on. Both Jason and the XtremeAg team answer viewer questions and take a deeper dive into planting practices throughout the webinar.

Kevin Matthews had been looking at soil sample results for decades before he finally realized the importance of calcium to magnesium ratios in his soils. This may seem like advanced agronomy to some but the reality is this: You can’t get to the next level of production without a firm foundation of soil basics. This is why Agroliquid created the Back2Basics educational series — so farmers can discover their next level ability by addressing the basics first. Or, as Kevin says, “fixing limiting factors in the soil begins with the basics.”

Fertilizer and diesel prices are up considerably. Meanwhile farms are under increasing environmental pressure. These forces combine to create a real opportunity for manure utilization via drip irrigation. Drip irrigation, as we’ve discussed in previous episodes, is a more efficient means of delivering moisture to your crop. But drip is also a very effective means of nutrient management which saves time, machinery hours, and diesel all while eliminating the soil compaction common with manure application.
