Agronomists Happy Hour

Episode 50 is our season finale,  happy hour with our great friend Karnes Neill. We might be lacking a little in agronomy on this episode but full of Montana life, sheep, and laughs. 

Happy hour this week was spent with Katie Tangen with Ag Country. She took time out of her day working at the Big Iron Expo to share with us what it is she does and we look at a side of agriculture that agronomists usually stay away from. Inelasticity vs Elasticity, charting out need and wants in a farm budget (which beer is a need ), and more were talked about this week.  Remember that Farm QA is...

You know how it gets when you run on some long days in the probe truck and get all kinds of time to think to yourself about things going on. Well this episode is inspired by those thoughts.

The crop protection season for 2021 is nearly wrapped up but we are already looking into 2022 and for good reason.

Jason and Kyle have Jodi Boe and John Brekker on for happy hour as they probe into the confines of the "Agvise Bunker" for soil nutrient trends as they are starting to be analyzed from this seasons samples.

In a special request make by faithful listener, Agronomy Brad, this weeks topic is "Agronomic Pet Peeves". We had a ton of fun recording this discussing the things that "grind our gears". 

As harvest gets fired up, Jason and Kyle share their thoughts on fertilizer markets, soil sampling, and fall fertility. 

Happy hour this week was spent with Sarah Lancaster, extension weed scientist for Kansas State. We discuss the North Central Weed Science Society's student competition that was held on NDSU's campus the previous week. 

Quick update on the current conditions we are seeing during our travels.  Some good, some bad, some ugly..... It's a dry one out there.

This weeks happy hour is spent with Dr. Joe Ikley and will be a happy hour you don't want to miss! Lots of great content in this one regarding weed science!

We talk the current state of how weed control is going this year and what we believe to be the root issues why weed control is not as good vs years past. 

This week takes a slight detour from agronomy as we talk to our friends Mike and Chris about their journey into competition barbeque. There are tons of little tips and tid-bits in this episode to help out anyone with their next big BBQ cookout.

Happy hour was spent with Chad Brusseau this week. We discuss internships and mentoring people in agriculture and how important these opportunities are, not only for the intern but for the supervisor as well.  If you have been an intern, looking for internships, are a supervisor of an internship or will be a supervisor of an internship one day this is a great episode to tune in for!

Its been hot, dry, and hard to get good weed control. We talk about our areas developing conditions, how to get good weed  control in these conditions, and the audibles that can be called for weed control.

Hot weather, hardened off weeds, & stressed crops are the main topic for this weeks episode. We dive into our opinions how to manage in crop herbicides during this heat to get the most from your applications. 

This happy hour is focused on tank mixing; when & why things go wrong and what to do to avoid problems. 

Adam Spelhaug is this weeks guest. Main topic of discussion is re-planting decisions during a dry start and patchy stands: when to do something and when to leave it. Of course we have fun and talk other topics too: lefse, beer, and kindred barley. 

Jason & Kyle share more stories about mess ups that they've done themselves or encountered, with a focus on crop protection products. 

Jason and Kyle share some stories about times when they've screwed up. They share what they did and what happened afterwards. 

Happy hour this week is with NDSU's Extension Soil Heath Agronomists Dr. Abbey Wick. Lots of fun discussion around communications, soil health, carbon credits, and a little regenerative ag. 

Jason and Kyle finish their discussion from last weeks "Don't Jump" episode. Mostly on weed control programs, some on fungicide, and biologicals.  Beer this week was from Breckinridge brewing and Bismarck Brewing, so check out the last 5 minutes if you are interested!

As drought conditions persist in most of the area we work in, we wanted to share some of the things we have heard that different farmers are considering and what our opinions are on those decisions. 

Happy Hour this week is with Travis Messer who is the Precision Ag Manager & Agronomist with Plains Grain and Agronomy in Mott ND. Travis shares how the planting season is going in his part of the world in southwestern ND and also shares a wealth of knowledge and experience about planter technology.
