CWD.  Jason talks with world-renowned CWD expert & wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Michael Miller about the early days of CWD in Colorado and Wyoming as part 1 of the Drop-Tine CWD Intensive Recordings BEGIN!

Ever wonder about the anatomy and physiology of good and bad shots? How long should you wait after all of the different types of hits and what determines whether you find your trophy at the end of a blood trail or you're forced to eat tag soup?

Jason and Dr. Jon Jenks discuss research that exposes the toxicity of neonicotinoid seed treatments to whitetails and other game species. 

Neonicotinoid seed treatments can set back progress on regenerative properties with negative, cascading effects on beneficial insects.  Equally alarming, Neonics are proving detrimental to the health of our game species. This episode provides some background information for the episode to follow.

Following extreme interest in the first episode of Field Reports, Jason records a call with Pennsylvania food plotter Dan Very.  Dan's questions stem from content promoted on social media platforms about splitting food plots in half and preceeding fall plots with monoculture buckwheat.  Is this as good as it gets?

In this first episode of the new Field Reports recordings, Jason talks with Zach Weaver about his regenerative food plotting and soil health journey.

Taking soil health testing (CO2) to the field with new robust sensor technology.  Jason and Dr. Rich Haney introduce the results of two years of work: The ST-1 in-field, real-time soil health tool. Ag consultant David Kleinschmidt joins in on the discussion to provide his input after field testing the technology throughout the 2021 growing season.

We flip the script as Jason is interviewed by "AB" from Humanimal.  "AB" fires questions at Jason about soil health, biomimicry, weeds as desirable "free agents", food plotting in Nature's image and Fall Reload.

Looking for a new summer planted soil building option that's super tall, fast-growing, weed suppressing, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestering, moisture conserving SASQUATCH-building habitat that can be rolled down? NEW SUMMER SQUATCH is the perfect 60 day summer product to establish prior to planting Fall Reload?  Just roll it down and plant right into it for your best hunting season to date!

Jason introduces the future of in-laboratory soil testing in Nature's image.  The standard soil test conducted at universities and labs across the country is no longer needed, nor accurately calibrated, if you're managing your food plots in a regenerative manner.  If soil health and a biologically driven system is your approach moving forward, ditch the costly $15 university soil test for far bett...

Jason sits down with Casey Keefer and AB Bleise to introduce the Illinois Project that they recently kicked off. They discuss why they believe the property, and their unique goals & objectives of regenerative ecology and food plotting in Nature's image, will make this deer dirt a top 5 whitetail property in the country.

Montana. Jason is joined by cementum aging specialists Carolyn Nistler and A.J. Stephens of Matson's Lab in Montana.  After nearly 3 years in the making, the trio finally connects to ponder why this inexpensive but valuable tool is not more mainstream for hunters and managers.

Jason discusses the art and science of frost seeding with Dr. Sjoerd Duiker, Professor of Soil Management and Applied Soil Physics, Penn State Cooperative Extension, Department of Plant Science. All questions surrounding the frost seeding technique are covered including timing, planting rates, best forage species, perennials VS. annuals, equipment, site prep, optimal seed ballistics, shape and siz...

Knoxville, TN-Jason talks with Univ. of Tennessee Master's candidate, Brittany Panos about her pioneering research that seeks to identify the benefits of cover crops to grassland birds (and other wildlife species). They discuss the benefits of later termination, roller crimper use and dozens of soil health and cover crop talking points. This is an information-packed episode!

TX & PA. Jason and Dr. Rick Haney discuss soil pH as it relates to RegenAg and whether you should lime at all or do plants take care of that too? What's the process of choosing which species go into the Reload blends and WHY? Are Jason and Rick working on an in-field soil health test that will change the game in regenerative agriculture and nitrogen application?

Coffee Co., Tennessee Jason records a call with Dr. Squatchy himself, Adam Daugherty NRCS District Conservationist. Jason and Adam discuss Regen Wildlife Ag, soil health, force feeding nature, synergistic affects, crimp termination, infiltration, and of course: GROWING SASQUATCH HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE!

Imaging trapping 37 coyotes in 32 nights on a property that is less than 200 acres! Jason sits down with his long time friend, former college classmate and income generating trapper of 26 years, Johnny Carter. With so much feedback on Episode 25 with carnivore ecologist Dr. Bruce Leopold, Jason steers the predator management (never "control") discussion in a slightly different direction.

Jason Snavely, David Kleinschmidt and Macauley Kincaid discuss a broad array of topics related to soil health, common sense & profitable farming, 60 inch corn rows inter-seeded for wildlife and the future of regenerative agriculture.

You've heard enough podcasts with "expert guests"!  When Jason receives a call from a Pennsylvania client he hits RECORD! Topics include an opening day mature archery buck, "dirty plots", homemade roller crimpers, the Reload food plot system and low impact doe removal.

Jason R. Snavely, CWB sits down with predator/carnivore ecologist Dr. Bruce Leopold to discuss the pitfalls of predator management. Is the return worth your investment when it comes to protecting game species from predators and is there EVER a time when predator management is effective?  What does the science say?

Salina, KS. Jason sits down with LandPride's Dana Trumpp to discuss how to fine tune a no-till drill for great stands. Understanding Ag consultant David Kleinschmidt leads off with his input on the benefits of no-till farming. Jason offers a sneak peak into an upcoming Trump Train episode with Heath Graham.

Jason talks with Daniel Vitalis, creator of WildFed about foraging for wild edibles where you hunt and fish. Controlling your food supply has never been more vital than now.  Foraging for nutrient dense wild edibles offers medicinal and health benefits that ensure a robust immune system to tackle all diseases.

Drop-Tine Seed Co. is leading a paradigm shift in the way wildlife food plots are established and managed.  This all starts with restoring soil health.  Furthermore, the "WHY" behind soil health and high species diversity is covered in depth in this podcast with Keith Berns of Green Cover Seed. Jason and Keith discuss the joint venture between Drop-Tine Seed and Green Cover Seed and they get into...
