Summary Book a Strategy Call In this episode of Leadership on the Links, we sit down with two seasoned golf industry veterans — Bill Langley, retired General Manager & CEO of the Club at Quail Ridge, and Clark Jones, longtime Greens Chairman at The Country Club in Pepper Pike, Ohio and Gulfstream Golf Club — to explore what it truly takes to build a high-performing club from the inside out. Hosted by Tyler Bloom of Bloom Golf Partners, this conversation dives deep into the critical relationships that make or break a club's success: GM-superintendent dynamics, greens committee communication, member expectations, and the hiring practices shaping the next generation of golf course leaders. Whether you're a superintendent, club manager, Greens Chair, or aspiring industry professional, this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom you won't find in a textbook. What You'll Learn: The GM-Superintendent Relationship: Why mutual respect and open communication are the foundation of any successful club — and how to build that relationship even when leadership isn't proactive about it. The Role of the Head Golf Professional: How the golf pro acts as the "bank teller" of the club — hearing member feedback first — and why looping them into agronomic decisions is a game-changer. Greens Committee Best Practices: What makes a greens committee effective, how to involve diverse member voices (high and low handicappers, male and female), and why a mission statement can serve as your anchor when things get turbulent. Setting Realistic Member Expectations: How to communicate challenges outside the superintendent's control — like weather — and why having a communication infrastructure in place makes those tough conversations easier. Budgeting & Capital Projects: How GMs and Greens Chairs evaluate capital improvement requests, why a well-built business case matters, and how to frame a conversation around ROI rather than just agronomic necessity. Hiring for Cultural Fit: What hiring committees are really looking for beyond technical skills — leadership, emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and workplace culture. The Power of a Portfolio: Why a well-crafted interview portfolio can differentiate you from a sea of similar resumes, what to include (before/after photos, behavioral reports, SOP examples), and how to strategically deploy it throughout the process. Title Inflation in the Industry: A candid conversation about the rise of "Director of Agronomy" titles and what committees actually look for beyond the label. Book Recommendations: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara and Sea Stories by Admiral William McRaven — two reads that connect service, leadership, and attention to detail in ways that translate directly to club management.

Dr. Donald L. Smith is the Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Plant Science at McGill University. He is also CEO of BioFuelNet Canada, Head of Biomass Canada, and Head of the McGill Network for Innovation on Biofuels and Bioproduct. Don's research examines relationships between plants and the microbes that live in association with them, particularly in the roots. He and his collaborators have discovered evidence of signaling between plants and microbes, including microbial signaling that causes plants to grow better. They also uncovered that plants respond much more strongly to signals in the presence of drought or cold stress. Now they are expanding their investigations to examine a wide range of plant-associated microbes to better understand the signals they send and how they may impact plant health and resilience. Outside of the lab, Don loves to unwind and recharge by going on walks and reading great novels. He is also an avid traveler who enjoys blending work with trips to new places whenever possible, turning conferences and collaborations into opportunities to explore the world. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Acadia University and his PhD from the University of Guelph. Afterwards, he worked as an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Agriculture Canada before joining the faculty at McGill University in 1985. Over the course of his career, Don has received many awards and honors, including, the Clean50 award for contributions to sustainable development and clean capitalism in Canada and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in this case for significant contributions to intelligent agriculture . He is also a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Agronomy, and he served as a Member of the Canada-US think tank on climate change and agriculture in North Eastern North America. In our interview, Don shares more about his life and science.

"Synthesis, function, and genetic variation of sorgoleone, the major biological nitrification inhibitor in sorghum" with Drs. Sakiko Okumoto, Bill Rooney, and Guntur Subbarao When we fertilize our crops, some of the nitrogen from that fertilizer gets converted into different forms through processes called nitrification and denitrification. When non-plant available forms of nitrogen exit the soil through water or as gas, it's a serious environmental problem. Thankfully, plants have some pretty nifty ways to prevent nitrification, such as biological nitrification inhibition or BNI, a process that manages the bacteria that cause nitrification. In this episode, Sakiko, Bill, and Guntur join me to discuss sorgoleone, a product of sorghum roots that plays a key role in the BNI process. Tune in to learn: ·         What sorgoleone is ·         How it helps ·         What challenges breeders face in increasing it ·         What challenges researchers face in moving this research out into farms If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.70066 This paper is always freely available.

EarthWorks has returned from a fantastic week in Orlando at the GCSAA Trade Show and Conference, and by every measure, it was a tremendous success. On Wednesday afternoon, we welcomed friends from across the industry to our booth for cocktails. The space was packed from start to finish, and venue staff told us the EarthWorks gathering was the largest event on the show floor.Throughout the week, we spent valuable time with our distributor partners aligning goals for the year ahead while also connecting with countless turfgrass managers to answer questions, exchange ideas, and simply catch up. Those conversations remain the highlight of the show for our team. Reconnecting with longtime colleagues, some relationships spanning decades, and hearing both professional successes and personal updates is always deeply rewarding.One noticeable trend this year was the number of new companies entering the “organic” space. To us, this signals that EarthWorks' nearly 40-year commitment to biological soil management continues to influence the industry in meaningful ways. We repeatedly heard from clients that EarthWorks has risen to the forefront of the carbon-based fertility movement, with more companies embracing a soil-first philosophy.As we shared stories from the week, the team also discussed opportunities to refine our approach for next year. And while there may be one notable exception, most of us are already looking forward to gathering again in New Orleans.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Book a Strategy Call: https://www.bloomgolfpartners.com/book-a-strategy-call Summary In this episode of Leadership on the Links, Tyler Bloom sits down with Kenton Brunson, Director of Agronomy at Mid Ocean Club, to explore why golf course superintendents are uniquely positioned to become elite club leaders. Kenton shares his unconventional career journey, from agronomy student to superintendent to earning his MBA and CCM, while challenging long-held assumptions about silos in club operations. The conversation dives deep into education versus experience, the real value of advanced degrees, and how continued learning helps superintendents earn credibility in the boardroom. Kenton explains how exposure to club management disciplines reshaped the way he leads people, collaborates with department heads, and measures performance across his team. Listeners also gain a behind-the-scenes look at Mid Ocean's progressive people-development systems, including skills matrices, performance scorecards, emotional intelligence tracking, and learning-and-development investment. Kenton emphasizes that leadership longevity isn't about doing everything yourself, it's about building systems, trusting people, and choosing the right leaders to learn from early in your career. This episode reinforces a powerful message: superintendents already manage the largest assets, budgets, and teams at the club, now it's time to fully step into that leadership potential.   What You'll Learn • Why superintendents are naturally positioned to become club executives • The real ROI of MBAs, CCMs, and continued education • How education helps superintendents earn trust in the boardroom • Why getting "out of your silo" makes you a better leader • How to use performance scorecards instead of opinions • Building staff development systems that improve retention • Why people development is a competitive advantage for clubs • How emotional intelligence impacts leadership effectiveness • Practical approaches to delegation and time management • Career advice for young superintendents planning long-term success Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction and why superintendents are built to lead 01:50 – Kenton's early career path and agronomy background 03:40 – From superintendent to thinking like a club executive 05:45 – Education vs. experience: MBA and CCM insights 08:30 – Getting into the room: why education still matters 11:00 – What superintendents learn from club management programs 13:10 – Breaking silos and connecting with department heads 15:40 – Performance management and staff development systems 18:30 – Skills matrices, scorecards, and measuring success 22:10 – Emotional intelligence and leadership self-awareness 25:20 – Delegation, time management, and leadership mindset 29:40 – Governance, alignment, and defining success at the club 33:00 – Choosing leaders over logos early in your career 37:10 – Leadership advice to Kenton's younger self 38:30 – Final thoughts and where to connect   Links Mentioned Bloom Golf Partners Website: https://www.bloomgolfpartners.com Club Management Association of America (CMAA): https://www.cmaa.orgGCSAA: https://www.gcsaa.org

One of the headwinds facing organic and regenerative farmers is the fact that all of the latest genetics are optimized for conventional systems.

Seed corn package diversity is more than relative maturity. Hybrids build yield in a variety a ways - ear length, ear girth, kernel weight. It's important to know how each product gets to the finish line and what package can work best on your acres.On today's podcast, the Wyffels agronomy managers discuss our yield component trials. Wyffels has conducted research to better understand how individual hybrids express their yield components. Hybrids are planted at low and high populations to determine how hybrid yield components change, or "flex", in response to stress. Ears are collected to determine how the girth, length, and kernel weight are affected by stress. Differences are converted to a percentage to show how each yield component influences total ear flex by product. You can fine-tune management to protect genetic yield potential by knowing how hybrids respond to stress.Links discussed in this episode:Our Corn Products - Wyffels HybridsRequest our Product Guide with Yield Component Information.Between the Rows® - Fungicide Use on Wyffels HybridsWyffels Hybrids Trial ResultsWe want to hear from you.

Episode 502 takes you straight to the Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth at the AgriFest in Enid—where the smell of fresh bread and cinnamon rolls is basically a tractor beam for farmers. Dave Deken and Dr. Brian Arnall sit down with Kay County wheat producer Tom Cannon, now a new Oklahoma Wheat Commission board member, to pull back the curtain on what “checkoff dollars” actually do. Tom shares the producer-side view of how funds support wheat research (better varieties, better quality, better management), expand export demand (he notes about half of Oklahoma wheat is headed overseas), and build ag literacy through hands-on education.The conversation hits home on why wheat still matters in modern rotations—especially after drought and wind reminded everyone what bare ground can do. From no-till residue and moisture protection to the “wheat + cotton” tag-team, Tom makes the case that wheat is the foundational crop that holds systems (and small towns) together. And just for fun: you'll also hear about the “drone posse” concept—proof that Oklahoma agriculture is equal parts tradition, grit, and innovation.Top 10 takeawaysOklahoma winter wheat is a cornerstone crop economically and agronomically—and it still moves the needle statewide.Checkoff dollars are meant to act like a “marketing + research engine” for producers who are busy producing.Export market development is a major lever because a huge share of wheat demand is outside the local elevator.Producer education about checkoffs matters—refund requests signal a communication gap (Tom estimates ~6–8% refunded).Wheat's residue is “soil armor” in Oklahoma—helping reduce erosion, slow evaporation, and improve water capture.No-till isn't a set-it-and-forget-it system; it rewards deeper management—and wheat often anchors that system.Wheat and cotton can complement each other well in rotation, especially when you manage residue and planting windows.Research isn't just yield—quality traits (protein management, fiber work) protect demand and create new value opportunities.Wheat success ripples through rural economies: equipment, parts, groceries, schools—everyone feels good crop years.Leadership in ag often starts the same way: somebody asks you to step up… and you decide to say yes.Timestamped Rundown00:00–00:01 — Dave opens Episode 502; Oklahoma wheat scale and value context; tees up the topic.00:01–01:52 — Intro of Brian Arnall Ph.D.; episode recorded at the Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth at KNID AgriFest (Jan. 10, 2026).02:05–04:07 — On-location banter: the bread/cinnamon roll operation, on-site oven, “follow your nose” traffic pattern.04:10–05:23 — Call-back to Tom's earlier appearance (mental health); stigma fading; “it's okay to talk.”05:47–07:52 — Tom's path to the Wheat Commission board; why producer feedback matters; “their money” must be used wisely.07:52–11:59 — What the Commission does: promote wheat locally + worldwide; support OSU research; board debate + shared intent.12:01–13:35 — Export emphasis; Tom notes ~50% of production exported; “what would markets be without it?”13:35–16:52 — Research examples: nitrogen timing/protein, quality improvements, fiber-enriched wheat; surprise: refund requests (Tom estimates ~6–8%).17:07–17:55 — Why checkoffs exist: producers aren't “marketing departments,” commissions fill that role.18:00–21:25 — Wheat acres + rotations; drought lessons; wheat residue and soil protection; no-till adoption in Kay County.21:25–24:45 — Cotton + wheat synergy; residue realities; why wheat after cotton works; harvest/header/residue discussion.24:46–26:29 — Logistics: drill “following the picker,” gin/trucking systems to clear fields fast for planting.26:29–28:49 — “Drone posse” business model; co-op fleet idea; custom work potential (moving north during fungicide season).28:53–30:06 — Public-facing work: baking events, wheat quality promotion, school coloring books/education.30:06–33:47 — Wheat's ripple effect on rural towns (dealerships, stores, services); extra cents per bushel matters locally; OSU's role.34:17–35:58 — Upcoming advocacy: Wheat Day at the Capitol, Ag Day, DC visits; educating policymakers about food production.36:00–36:51 — Wrap-up and where to connect with the show.

Podcast: Bites and Bytes PodcastEpisode: How AI, Data, and Digital Agronomy Will Reshape Our Food Systems with Serg MasisPub date: 2025-12-21Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode, Kristin King sits down with Serg Masis, a data scientist at Syngenta, to explore how AI, data, and digital agronomy are reshaping modern agriculture (Agronomy is the science of how crops are grown—soil, climate, plants, and farming practices working together).Serg brings an engineering mindset to AI, explaining it less like science fiction and more like a murder mystery,  where multiple perspectives, incomplete information, and interpretation matter just as much as the data itself. Rather than treating AI as a black box, he breaks down how understanding why a system makes a decision is just as important as the decision itself.Together, they talk about decision-making in farming,unintended consequences in complex systems, and why changing one thing in agriculture often creates ripple effects elsewhere. If you're curious about how technology is quietly influencing what we grow, how we farm, and what ends up on our plates, this conversation will change the way you think about food and data.---------------Guest Contact InformationGuest Info — Serg MasisWebsite: https://www.serg.ai/#about-meBooks & Writing: https://www.serg.ai/writing/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smasis/Employer (Syngenta): https://www.syngenta.com/---------------Episode Key Highlights00:11:00 — Why AI Is About Better Decision-Making, Not Replacing Humans00:13:19 — The Three Inputs of Agriculture: Environment, Genetics, and Decisions00:17:20 — Sustainability, Ecosystems, and Runaway Effects in Farming00:25:33 — AI as a Murder Mystery: Interpretation, Bias, and Perspective00:34:26 — Crop Collapse, Monocultures, and Why This Isn't Science Fiction---------------

Each year at this time, we bring the EarthWorks agronomy team together to reflect on the past year and to thank everyone who has supported us over the last 37 years. This year, we were joined by our friend and chemist, Lawrence Mayhew, one of our favorite and most popular guests.As a team, we discussed the trends we are seeing across the industry, particularly in agronomic technology. By studying current research and the work being done within regenerative agriculture communities, it is exciting to see that Biological Soil Management is not only here to stay, but thriving within the sports turf world. The lawn care industry also came up, with many LCOs making the shift to carbon-based fertility and experiencing both agronomic and financial benefits.Golf course construction continues to trend upward, and each of us has stories of turf managers who have seen significant success using the EarthWorks amendment package. Many of those stories have been shared through the EarthWorks Podcast. This team truly is a family, and that connection is clear in the conversations and interactions among coworkers and friends on the podcast.We wish everyone a very happy holiday season, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Most of all, we want to sincerely thank you for helping make the past 37 years so incredibly successful.

It is rare these days to see someone stay in a job for more than 26 years, and even rarer to find a person who pours themselves into their work as if it were their own company. This month, we have been celebrating someone who has done all of that and so much more.More than 26 years ago, Lisa Kiefer walked into our office for an interview as an office support person. At the end of 2025, she will be retiring as the company's Vice President. Over the years, many people in the EarthWorks extended family have spoken with Lisa on the phone or had the pleasure of working with her through one of her many responsibilities.As the owner and president of the company, I can honestly and humbly say that if Lisa had not walked into our office that spring afternoon, we may not be here today. She has been instrumental in our growth and direction. She kept the company moving forward while the rest of us were able to get out into the field and help turf managers discover the real value of Biological Soil Management.Many companies have someone like Lisa, but very few have someone who truly lives and breathes the work and carries such a deep passion for the mission we all embraced. She has been juggling balls and, more recently, elephants for her entire time with us. Unfortunately, elephants are not easy to juggle, so she has decided it is time to focus on her family, her six grandchildren, and life on the farm.To say we will miss her is an understatement. Expressing how grateful we are for her warm spirit, contagious laugh, and incredible work ethic comes effortlessly. We sat down in the same spot where we first met Lisa to record this podcast, sharing a few laughs, reminiscing often, remembering old friends, and even shedding a few tears.This is not goodbye by any means, but simply a change in the relationship Lisa has had for so long with the team and with all our friends at EarthWorks.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

It's mid-December and we're still talking fungicide. Why? After what we saw in 2025, it requires a deeper dive before 2026 decisions are made.Fungicides are a valuable tool for raising high yielding corn. The benefits include increased yield, improved plant health and better standability at harvest. All hybrids can respond positively to a properly timed fungicide application, especially in environments that favor the development of leaf disease.On today's podcast, the Wyffels agronomy team reviews multiyear data, explores best practices for ROI, and offers thoughts on strategy for 2026.

Today's episode is another installment in our Tech-Enabled Advisor series. The idea here is to better understand agtech through the lens of the BUYER and USER of that technology rather than just the entrepreneurs or investors behind it. I've received some super positive feedback about the return of this series. By talking to the buyers rather than the sellers of the tech, we got an unfiltered introduction to the technology and more importantly got to see HOW its used and the VALUE that it provides. To do this, I partner with a company and together we invite one of their customers onto the show. The catch is that they're not allowed to script these individuals or dictate what to say or edit it after it is recorded - it has to be real and unfiltered. So today's episode featuring Todd Kirwan of Apex Precision Agriculture is produced in partnership with AgWorld. And I'm really excited to be partnering with them again, as they were a part of the last time I did this tech-enabled advisor series. But for anyone who might not be familiar, Agworld has been operating since 2009, developed by and for growers & agronomists, and is independently owned. The Agworld ecosystem digitally connects growers with their staff, agronomist, contactor, ag retailer and anyone else that is involved in the farming process. The tool is set up to enable collaboration in the digital farming process, so farmers can maximise financial and crop performance. With Agworld you can plan your crop, mitigate your risks, and improve your profitability. And you're going to get a great illustration of what that looks like on the ground and in practice in today's episode with Todd Kirwan. Todd and I discuss what types of cultural changes need to happen in a farming operation to get the most out of technology, where things go wrong in the attempts to get the most value out of farm data, why he believes the challenging farm economy makes tools like AgWorld even more critical and some of the changes he sees happening in the future of agriculture. A little background on Todd: Todd Kirwan is the founder of Apex Precision Agriculture, a consultancy focused on helping growers and agribusinesses transform their operational data into their most profitable asset.With over 25 years in large-scale production agriculture, his career has been dedicated to bridging the gap between field-level agronomy and high-level financial strategy. Over that time, he's seen the industry from every angle, from moving pipe on the family farm to directing operations for a multi-state farming enterprise. Through his experiences in farm management, he recognized a critical need for a partner who understands not just the data, but the human dynamics of implementing change. And that led him to starting Apex Precision Agriculture. Todd grew up working in his family's farming operation and then started his own custom applicator business. That led him into farm management and leadership for a rapidly expanding farming company called Lance Funk Farms. He then stayed on after Lance Funk sold to AgReserves, which is the agricultural company owned by the LDS church. It was that time at Lance Funk Farms, when they were hyper focused on growth that Todd really embraced how technology can improve a farming operation.

This Farm4Profit episode brings listeners a deep dive into the science and story of Sea Energy Agriculture, tracing how ocean minerals have moved from experimental hydroponic plots in Florida to practical, profitable farm programs across North America.Guests Lynn Hoover, Senior Director of Agronomy and Commercial Sales, and Michael Sileck, Commercial Sales Leader for Sea-90 and Baja Gold Salt Co., join the hosts to share how the 90+ balanced minerals and trace elements found in ocean water can rebuild soil vitality, elevate livestock performance, and close the loop between soil, plant, and human health.Listeners will discover:The Origins – How Dr. Maynard Murray, a medical doctor and physiologist, pioneered ocean-water research, proving that sea solids could rejuvenate mineral-deficient soils and improve the health of animals and humans alike.Modern Application – How Sea-90 brings those findings into modern agriculture with naturally balanced ocean minerals—5x more mineral content than competitors and the lowest sodium levels of any salt available.Real-World Results – Case studies showing improved crop performance in grass, grain, and bean programs, and measurable gains in livestock health and fertility when using Sea-90 as part of feeding and pasture systems.The Big Picture – How the Sea-90 approach supports regenerative agriculture by reconnecting soil health, plant nutrition, animal vitality, and ultimately human well-being.The conversation also explores practical takeaways:What sets ocean minerals apart from conventional fertility inputs.How Sea-90 integrates into current crop and livestock operations.Common misconceptions about mineral programs—and how science and on-farm data dispel them.Why balanced mineralization is foundational for nutrient density, yield stability, and long-term profitability.
