Codee Lee is a technical specialist for CHS. Half of his job is research of their proprietary products like fertility products, biologicals, crop protection and adjuvants. The other half of his job is communicating about that research with customers and growers in general. Lee shares the purpose of adjuvants and the advantage they provide producers especially when facing adverse environmental factors. Dr. Audrey Kalil joins this episode as co-host. A plant pathologist by training and background, Kalil is currently an Agronomist and Outreach Coordinator at Horizon Resources and producer of this podcast. “ I've been doing small plot research for 15 years already, and how these products perform and how much benefit these adjuvants will give you is very, very dependent on our environment. The more adversity in the environment, the more benefit you get out of these adjuvants. I'm not going to sit here and say that they're a silver bullet, but for us, specifically up here in adverse environments, they can be really a handy tool in the toolbox to help kind of plateau that performance across our different spraying conditions.” - Codee LeeThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Codee Lee, a technical specialist for CHSDiscover the purpose, method and impact in adding adjuvants to in-putsExplore how factors including crop variety, risk of crop injury, environmental factors and type of herbicide available can help determine what best steps a producer can take to optimize their weed managementGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Kurt Braunwart is the managing owner of Progene Plant Research, a genetic research-based company bringing new innovations and old uses to current varieties in the market. The company is known for their spring and winter pea program, as well as their work in oats and triticale. Braunwart discusses his career in this industry, how he started and built Progene, how he identifies oddball traits that can have mainstream applications, some of the differences and similarities between spring and winter peas, and his hopes for the future as he transitions the company over to new ownership. He began his career as a fieldman for Rogers Seed Company in 1974 in Twin Falls, Idaho. In 1980, he moved to Colfax, Washington, as Plant Manager and later to Othello, Washington, as Operations Manager. In 1995, he purchased and carried forward a dry pea breeding program from Rogers Seed Company. This business became ProGene Plant Research in 1996.“ What we were finding through the whole team was that we've got ways to improve the roots of those peas, to contribute back to soil health. And that yes, we can do that with spring peas, but we can do it way better with winter peas because their ratio of roots to top growth is more roots than in spring peas.” - Kurt BraunwartThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Kurt Braunwart, the managing owner of Progene Plant ResearchDiscover the creation and mission of ProgeneExplore the differences and similarities between spring and winter peasLearn where he sees the future of crop developmentGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Dr. Lars Kamphuis is an associate professor at Curtin University and the deputy director of the Center for Crop Disease Management where he focuses on crop diseases that impact Australian farmers. The center collaborates extensively with state departments and universities around the country to research diseases relevant to growers throughout Australia. Kamphuis was born and raised in The Netherlands and studied plant breeding and crop protection at Wageningen University. He then had the opportunity to do research in Australia and says he just never left. In this episode, he shares about his experiences with lupins and why the crop is fitting in well in some Australian rotations. He also discusses his work with Sclerotiania stem rot, fungicide resistance and the ascochyta issues Australian farmers have had to deal with. “ A lupin is kind of what we would call an orphan crop. It's not very well known around the globe, but it has a tremendous value. So it does really well in sandy and acidic soils, which is particularly a problem here in Western Australia. So for some of our Australian grain growers, where they have to give breaks to their cereal and canola crops, they need a viable pulse crop in these sandy acidic soils and lupins are a perfect fit.” - Dr. Lars KamphuisThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Dr. Lars Kamphuis, an associate professor at Curtin University and the deputy director of the Center for Crop Disease ManagementExplore the introduction and benefits to adding Lupins in pulse crop rotations in AustraliaUnderstand the challenges of Sclerotiania stem rot, fungicide resistance and ascochyta issues faced by Australian farmers Learn more about the ongoing ascochyta research from our episode in season two with Dr. Kampuis's colleague, Dr. Jenny DavidsonGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

In this episode of Impact Farming, Tracy sits down with agricultural economist and strategist Michelle Klieger to unpack a question many producers are quietly asking: Can U.S. soybeans still compete in the global market? As farmers head into another planting season facing tight margins, uncertain demand, and rising costs, the global soybean market continues to shift. From China's buying decisions to the growing influence of Brazil, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. Michelle shares insights from her recent article on the "Brazil Factor" and explores what's really driving global soybean competitiveness—and what it means for producers in North America. Episode Highlights • Why global demand—especially from China—remains a key driver for soybean markets • How geopolitics and trade negotiations are affecting farm families and rural economies • The rise of Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse • The role of land costs, seed pricing, and regulation in shaping global competitiveness • How Brazil's ability to expand farmland and double crop gives it an edge • Why U.S. farmers may need a different strategy to stay competitive • Key signals producers should watch as global soybean markets evolve Global agriculture is evolving quickly, and the soybean market is a powerful example of how economics, geopolitics, and innovation intersect. As Brazil continues to expand production and global trade dynamics shift, producers in North America face new challenges—but also opportunities. Understanding the forces shaping global markets can help farmers make informed decisions and remain competitive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

Todd Scholz is vice president of research and member services for USA Pulses, which until last year was known as the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council. This year Todd will retire after 26 years with the organization. He joins us today to talk about the industry's work in getting more crop protection tools labeled for pulse crop growers. USA Pulses is a nonprofit organization that has been pushing for pulses in our food system since 1965. Their work supports over 5,000 growers, processors, and exporters across the US, working from field to fork to strengthen the industry and highlight the value of pulses worldwide. Todd's job as vice president for research and member services is to take research needs from producers/industry and try to marry it with researchers and funding to answer the need to be able to raise the crop. Today, Todd discusses USA Pulse's research priorities, their involvement with the IR-4 program and that program's importance for pulse crop growers, global harmonization of maximum residue limits and some reflections from his 26 years in his role.“ There's an organization called IR-4. It was created in the sixties, and its purpose was to provide the link for specialty crops to get access to pesticides. Generally, when a registrant or a pesticide company wants to label a pesticide, they look for easy returns. So that's corn, soybeans, maybe wheat and other major crops. And so the specialty crops get ignored. So the IR-4 was organized and formed and its history is so amazing. It started with one guy, a desk, and maybe a secretary. And now it's about a $15 million program.” - Todd ScholzThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Todd Scholz, vice president of research and member services for USA PulsesExplore the industry's work in getting more crop protection tools labeled for pulse crop growers.Discover the IR-4 Program and its importance for pulse crop growersGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Today's episode goes behind the scenes of pulse crop disease diagnostics with Dr. Uta McKelvy, Dr. Raissa Moura and Erin Gunnink Troth. They explain how Montana State University's Regional Pulse Crop Diagnostic Laboratory provides post-harvest seed testing for replanting and export phytosanitary needs (including an Ascochyta-plus fungal screen and regulated nematode tests). Dr. McKelvy contrasts this with the Schutter Lab's in-season plant health diagnostics for crops and other plant-related services, outlining how samples are evaluated and how environmental conditions influence what diseases are seen. "Think of the diagnostic labs: Schutter and the Regional Pulse Diagnostic Lab as just resources that are available to you that you should take advantage of. Why guessing and wondering if you could know, right? I want to point out from the Schutter side of view, we're not just sending you a report that says you have this - good luck. Every report includes information on the disease and the pathogen, and emphasizes management recommendations.” - Uta McKelvy, Ph.D. Resources: Schutter Diagnostic Lab: https://www.montana.edu/extension/diagnostics/ Regional Pulse Crop Diagnostic Lab: https://plantsciences.montana.edu/pulsecropdiagnosticlab/ Annual Report: https://www.montana.edu/extension/diagnostics/annual-report.html MSU Ag and Urban Alerts: https://www.montana.edu/extension/ipm/alerts/ Extension Plant Pathology website: https://www.montana.edu/extension/plantpath/resources/ This Week on Growing Pulse Crops:00:00 Why Guess When You Can Know01:46 Meet the Pulse Lab Team02:38 How the Pulse Lab Started06:39 Funding and Lab Support07:42 Seed Tests and Export Nematodes12:15 Sampling and Disease Trends16:40 What to Do With Results17:55 Schutter Lab Overview22:36 How Plant Diagnosis Works29:09 Trends and What They See33:45 Final Takeaways and Resources38:13 Wrap Up and Next Episode TeaserGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Shannah Peterson has been a part of the procurement team at Anchor Ingredients for the past six years. She also works with their sustainability and regenerative programs. On today's episode, Peterson discusses the demand drivers for pulses for pet food markets, how trends like sustainability and regenerative farming practices impact pet food buying decisions, some important opportunities to be aware of for pulse producers, and what she's watching from the pet food market in 2026. She shares great insight as someone who is a part of purchasing and sales decisions of pulses almost daily. “ There's been this humanization of pet food where people really care the quality of pet food that their dogs and animals are consuming the same as humans. So one thing we've seen is as this trend in regenerative agriculture has hit the food space, it's also hit the pet food space. Where a lot of these brands are like we want to be able to source this product sustainably. We want to source it from regenerative farms. So we actually run a regenerative program where we offer regenerative farmers a premium for these pulses being grown regeneratively on their farm. And that's actually through our traceability platforms being carried all the way to our customers.” - Shannah PetersonThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Shannah Peterson, a member of the procurement team at Anchor IngredientsExplore the use of pulses in the pet food industry and the recent impact of consumer concernsDiscover regenerative and carbon programs used by Anchor Ingredients to create premiums for producersGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Dr. Chelsea Didinger is the founder of the online platform "A Legume A Day.” Didinger uses her PhD in nutrition to share her passion for the benefits of beans and legumes. She highlights not just their health advantages but also their role in sustainable agriculture through her online platform and presence. In this episode today, she discusses the global trends in pulse consumption, the nutritional benefits that make them a perfect food, and practical ways to incorporate more pulses into everyday meals. “ I want people to know that it doesn't have to be hard. Again, you could sometimes make those swaps, like have a pulse based pasta or sometimes add chickpea flour to your baking, or pick the dishes that you really like and just add pulses to that, or crisp up some chickpeas, crisp up some lentils, and just sprinkle those on. It doesn't have to be hard. There are canned products. You can cook from dry. Whatever fits into your schedule and works realistically, you don't want to set this goal that's unattainable. So I think that's a good place to start.” - Dr. Chelsea DidingerThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Dr. Chelsea Didinger, the founder of "A Legume A Day” who uses her PhD in nutrition to share her passion for the benefits of beans and legumesExplore why Didinger feels pulses are the “perfect food” and the many different uses she proposes that consumers might not initially consider to incorporate pulses into their dietsDiscover bonus benefits to pulses including protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and additional phytonutrients and phytochemicalsGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Dr. Charles Geddes is a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada based out of Lethbridge, Alberta. His research program focuses primarily on herbicide resistant weeds, where he looks at the discovery of new types of herbicide resistance, characterizing those types of resistance, and then monitoring where resistance is occurring across the Canadian prairies. In this episode, he shares about the growing incidences of resistance across the Canadian Prairie, the types of resistance, why resistance in weeds like kochia is spreading so fast, and what the research is telling us about trying to reverse this troubling pattern. “About 70% of the fields that are annual crop production in the region have at least one type of herbicide resistance present. So group one and two resistance in wild oat, I mean both the in-crop options that we have in small grain cereals, for example. But in kochia, we have resistance, so widespread resistance to group two to the point it's not even worth testing for. Glyphosate resistance is in about 75% of the samples that we test. We then have resistance to auxin mimics, which would be group fours, primarily Fluroxypyr and Dicamba. And more recently we've identified group 14 resistance or PPO inhibitor resistance.” - Dr. Charles GeddesThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Dr. Charles Geddes is a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Understand the growing incidence of herbicide resistance across the Canadian Prairie and what the research suggests needs to happen to resist this concerning trendExplore different options for weed management that can be used in conjunction with herbicide use such as competitive planting techniquesLearn more at the Prairie Weed Monitoring Network WebsiteGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Farms today run more digital systems than ever before — GPS-guided equipment, grain accounting software, cloud-connected records, automated livestock and irrigation controls, and online financial tools. And that shift has put agriculture squarely into the Top 10 most-targeted industries for cyberattacks.In this episode, we sit down with Chris Sherman, founder of TechSupport.Farm, who specializes in helping farmers and ag businesses protect their operations from online threats. Chris breaks down why farms are becoming major hacker targets, the attacks he sees most often, and the simple ways producers can safeguard their data, their money, and their equipment.We explore real farm-level risks such as:Phishing emails disguised as invoices, USDA notices, or dealer updatesRansomware that locks up grain software, field maps, GPS data, or entire farm serversExtortion scams demanding bitcoinAttempts to infiltrate connected systems like grain dryers, feed mills, and irrigation controlsChris explains where farm data actually lives — on equipment, in cloud systems, or in software platforms — and what farmers need to understand about data ownership, platform security, and privacy.Then we move into practical, easy-to-apply cybersecurity steps every farm can start today:Creating strong password policies (12+ characters)Using password managersTurning on two-factor authenticationUpgrading email security with spam and phishing filtersSeparating home WiFi from business and equipment WiFiTracking who has login accessKeeping offline backups of critical filesTraining your family and employees to spot digital red flagsChris also shares real-world stories from farms he's helped — the scams that worked, the ones that were caught in time, and the mistakes he sees repeated across operations of all sizes.Whether you run a large operation or a small family farm, cybersecurity is now part of running the business.

Today's Farm4Fun episode brings you straight to the porch of Braswell Family Farms, where Trey Braswell, the fourth-generation president of a well-known East-Coast egg and feed operation, walks us through his roots, his responsibilities, and the heart behind a business built for generations.We explore how the farm began in 1943 as a small grist mill — and over 80 years and four generations later has grown into one of the largest private-label and specialty-egg producers on the East Coast, with a robust feed mill and diverse operations. Trey shares how he started working on the farm in high school — sweeping floors, unloading rail cars, maintaining mill bins — and later earned a business degree to come back with new ideas.We talk about major milestones under his leadership: building new pullet and layer houses, launching pasture-raised organic egg production, rebranding to Braswell Family Farms (formerly Braswell Foods), and embedding a culture guided by faith and stewardship. But more than facilities and production, we dig into values: how he works to make employees feel like family, establishes a “Stewardship Team,” and leads with a mission rooted in integrity, humility, and service. Expect stories — the earliest years, the tough decisions, the vision for organic and cage-free eggs, and what it really means to manage a 4-generation farm business in 2025. All with the honesty and warmth of a conversation on the porch.Whether you're a young farmer, seasoned producer, or just curious where your eggs come from, this episode offers a real glimpse into values-driven agriculture, family legacy, and the hard work behind every carton.

If you've ever wondered what "Make America Great Again" means for farm markets — or how global trade politics directly affect the prices, policies, and opportunities farmers face — this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Clifford Hall is a professor in the dairy and food science department at South Dakota State University. He also oversees research on pulse quality and utilization of pulses in food systems. Over the years, Dr. Hall has mentored several students completing research on peas, lentils, and chickpeas. These projects range from including pulses in extruded snacks to using aquafaba as an egg replacer to looking at the functional properties of pulse flours and other pulse fortified products. Dr. Hall has also overseen the annual U.S. Pulse Quality Survey since 2014. He shares how this information is used by the industry, what trends he is seeing in food applications for pulse crops, and where pulses fit into the nutrient density conversation.“  If you are someone that looks at I want to sell the flour, I'm likely going to go to the functionality test, the water absorption index that tells you how much water the pulse can absorb. And that would be important if you want to make, say a gluten-free cookie or you want to put it in a wheat bread. So I think those are really kind of the ones that a lot of times the most interest is in the protein and then some of these functional properties.” - Dr Cliff HallThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Dr. Clifford Hall, a professor in the dairy and food science department at South Dakota State UniversityDiscover possible new applications for pulse crops as a food additive and the benefits they offer processors Explore the data illustrated in the annual U.S. Pulse Quality Survey and how this information can be used in the pulse crop industryGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Greg Stamp is the seed sales manager at Stamp Seeds, which he runs with his two brothers, Matthew and Nathan. Stamp Seeds grows and processes retail pedigreed seed for about 60 different crops based out of Enchant, Alberta. Included in that long list of crops are some pulses like peas, chickpeas, lentils, and our subject for today's episode, faba beans. Greg shares all things faba beans including markets, varieties, agronomic practices, pest and disease considerations, harvesting and more. “ The market I think where there's some value is domestic. It's the people that are fractionating and it's the trend, you know, what's the next new hot protein? Past peas, it's faba beans… They're higher protein than peas and so that's why they want to use them. And then they have a different taste and flavor profile and fractionation. So that's why they're going that way. And so you're going to see more and more of them used in food products as time goes on.” - Greg StampThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Greg Stamp, the seed sales manager at Stamp SeedsDiscover all things faba beans including markets, varieties, agronomic practices and more.Explore unique techniques for pest management of faba beansListen to referenced guest Chuck Penner discuss drivers of supply and demand for pulse cropsReview integrated pest management with Dr. Hector Carcamo from a previous episodeVisit Stampseeds.com to learn more about faba beansGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

In this Product Spotlight, Tracy is joined by Matt Gosling, owner of Premium Ag, an agriculture consulting company based in Strathmore, Alberta. Matt shares why he calls KWS Hybrid Fall Rye his “favourite crop” and even the “best herbicide on the market.” From weed suppression to early harvest and agronomic consistency, Matt explains why hybrid rye stands out compared to other spring cereals. We cover: - Weed suppression & crop competition – why hybrid rye is such a strong tool for managing weeds. - Key steps for successful planting – what growers need to do in August/September to set themselves up for success, including field prep, residue management, seeding depth, and fertility planning. - Fitting hybrid rye into rotation – tips for first-time growers, stubble choice, volunteer management, and how hybrid rye can complement a canola system. - The June 21 advantage – how hybrid rye's reproduction timing avoids heat stress, improves grain fill, and contributes to stable yields in Western Canada. Whether you've grown hybrid rye before or you're curious about trying it for the first time, this episode is packed with practical agronomic insights you can take straight to the field.   Thanks for tuning, Tracy

Greg Bartley is the director of crop protection and crop quality at Pulse Canada. He's an agronomist by training and a certified crop advisor who has been with Pulse Canada for over six years. Bartley discusses the Keep It Clean Program in Canada, the value and challenges associated with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), some helpful information about desiccants and how various perceptions about chemicals are impacting the global trade of pulses. “ Things are changing. What's been happening within the past five years is not going to be what's happened in the next five years. So even though this is what you did on your farm two years ago. These MRL policies and just policies in general are ever evolving, you need to pay attention and recognize that sometimes things are changing. The level of testing that's going on within the industry is unreal. So if you were doing something two years ago chances are it may not be acceptable moving forward.” - Greg BartleyThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Greg Bartley is the director of crop protection and crop quality at Pulse CanadaDiscover the Canadian Keep It Clean Program and what is involved in participatingExplore the limitations and significance of Maximum Residue Limit policyLearn about strategy for timing and use of desiccation products for pulse cropsGrowing Pulse Crops is supported by the Northern Pulse Growers Association, produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.
