Farming

An in depth conversation about hybrids, diseases, fungicide responses, application timing, stalk strength, drought stress, kernel depth, row spacing, population, when to combine and perhaps most importantly, a trick for keeping the gnats away.

What's the deal with the second ear? Do you want a second ear? It is another ear of corn after all that contributes to yield, right? Or is it a bad thing that takes nutrients away from the primary ear? We pose the question: 2 Ear or Not 2 Ear? Let's see what our 2 experts from AgXplore have to say about it.

It's all the same seed in a different bag with different label? Right? Damian asks the question and more with Agrigold's Leslie Rogers and XtremeAg's Matt Miles and Robb Dedman.

Mitch Holmberg with Agrigold and Robb Dedman take a look at the beans planted February 19th. They have had a rough go so far with snow and rain, but they are still going strong. They take a look at root mass and structure.

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 Robb check in from one of their NCGA competition fields to talk about what they look for in their young corn crop and what they anticipate based on their observations at this early stage.

Matt is joined by Agrigold Agronomist, Mitch Holmberg, to talk about what they look for when choosing beans for production and what to look for when they are out of the ground to make sure each seed reaches its potential.

Kelly planted soybeans on March 21st. Nearly one month later, still no signs of emergence. And, if you were a soybean in Iowa for the past month, you'd probably want to stay in the ground until it warms up too. Kelly and Mike Wingrove from Integrated Ag Solutions head to the field to dig up a few beans and see what is happening beneath the soil.

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.
