The age of the farmer has been gradually moving higher, but some are noticing a shift to younger operators.

Harvest efficiency has always been one of the biggest profit drivers on the farm—but it's also been one of the hardest things to measure accurately. In this What's Working in Ag segment from Commodity Classic, we sat down with Marcel from Bushel Plus to talk about a simple idea that's making a major impact: actually measuring grain loss instead of guessing. For years, farmers relied on rough estimates—counting kernels on the ground, making visual judgments, or simply trusting experience. But as combines become more advanced with automation, sensors, and data systems, the need for accurate, real-world calibration has never been more important. That's where Bushel Plus comes in. Their SmartPan system allows operators to safely and quickly measure exactly what's coming out the back of the combine. With a remote-controlled drop pan, farmers can capture a sample during harvest, separate the grain from residue, and calculate true loss in just a few minutes. No guesswork. No unsafe methods. Just real numbers. And those numbers matter. Even a small amount of grain loss—just a couple bushels per acre—can add up to significant dollars across an operation. In many cases, farmers are surprised at how much they're actually losing. Once they see it, they can't unsee it—and more importantly, they can fix it. The impact goes beyond just saving grain. Reducing loss also means fewer volunteer crops, less need for additional passes or herbicide, and better overall field management. What makes this even more relevant today is the integration with modern combine technology. With John Deere's recent partnership and endorsement, SmartPan is now being used to “ground truth” combine automation systems—helping machines calibrate properly and hit target loss levels more accurately. Whether you're running the latest high-tech combine or an older machine, the concept is the same: you can't manage what you don't measure. And for many farmers, this tool pays for itself almost immediately—sometimes within the first few fields. The bottom line: harvest is too important—and margins are too tight—to leave bushels in the field. Tools like this are helping farmers capture more of what they've already worked all season to grow.

For twenty years, the math for U.S. grain storage was simple: for every extra bushel the American farmer grew, the industry built a bushel of space to hold it. But according to University of Illinois economist Joe Janzen, that "bushel-for-bushel" trend has officially snapped. In this episode of Grain IQ, Janzen noted that while U.S. grain production continues to climb in a "straight line," aggregate storage capacity has been flat since 2020. Grain IQ is an original production of the Nebraska Rural Radio Association with support from the Nebraska Soybean Board.

This episode is a masterclass in what real innovation in agriculture actually looks like.In this conversation, Marcel Kringe — founder of Bushel Plus — walks through how a simple, frustrating, and overlooked problem on the farm turned into a global business serving farmers in over 45 countries. What started as trying to figure out grain loss behind a combine became a system that is now influencing how some of the largest equipment manufacturers in the world think about data, automation, and efficiency.Marcel doesn't come at this from theory or Silicon Valley thinking. This is built from the ground up — from working in the dust, seeing real losses, and asking a simple question: there has to be a better way.The result is a business rooted in first principles: measure what matters, solve a real problem, and create immediate value for the farmer.If you care about agtech, innovation, or building something that actually works in the field — this one is worth your time.MEET THE GUESTMarcel Kringe is the Founder and CEO of Bushel Plus (Soon to be BranValt), a globally recognized ag-tech company specializing in harvest optimization. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in large-scale farming operations, Marcel has built a reputation for bridging the gap between field-level realities and cutting-edge agricultural innovation. His work has taken him across the globe, where he's collaborated with farmers, agronomists, and equipment manufacturers to improve harvest outcomes.  Marcel's passion for helping farmers stems from his own background in agriculture and a deep respect for the challenges producers face every season. He believes that every farmer deserves access to tools and knowledge that can make their work more efficient, profitable, and sustainable. Through Bushel Plus, Marcel is committed to empowering growers with practical solutions that reduce loss, increase yield, and support long-term success in the field.ABOUT THE PODCASTDiscover the world of agriculture with the "Ag Culture Podcast".This podcast will be a gateway for those passionate about agriculture to explore its global perspectives and innovative practices.Join Paul as he shares his experiences in the agricultural industry, his travels and encounters with important figures around the world.Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Subscribe at http://www.agculturepodcast.com and keep an eye out for future episodes, bringing insights and stories from the vibrant world of agriculture.

The EPA is releasing its long-awaited Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs), and this week we discuss what those standards could mean for agriculture. We also break down what the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict could mean for fertilizer prices and availability for farmers. Other agriculture news this week includes Illinois officially moving to a B20 biodiesel blend requirement to qualify for the tax credit, new findings from Bushel on farmers' digital tool usage, and the United States Department of Agriculture announcing plans to move the United States Forest Service headquarters from Washington to Utah. We also discuss what officials are saying about reopening the U.S.-Mexico border for cattle trade, along with some Easter-related news involving chocolate and eggs. This week's interview is with Josh Linville of StoneX, who explains how the conflict involving Iran is impacting fertilizer supply and costs. He notes that roughly one-third of global fertilizer trade, along with significant volumes of oil, natural gas and crop nutrients, move through the Strait of Hormuz. Linville says the conflict could create long-term ripple effects across supply chains, raising energy and fertilizer costs for months and potentially into 2027. While some farmers and agribusinesses may already have portions of their fuel and fertilizer needs locked in, many will still feel the impact of higher prices during an already tight-margin year.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/ece-devotions/20260209ECME.mp3 Listen to Devotion [Jesus said:] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 4:13,14 Hide It Under a Bushel, NO! Many may remember the song from childhood Sunday School and VBS. It goes like this, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I'm gonna let it shine. Don't let Satan *blow* it out, I'm gonna let it shine.” Be honest. Did a Sunday School memory come roaring back and make you sing along? A couple years ago, there was a video version of the song “This Little Light of Mine” which was circulating the early childhood world for a while. This version was by Listener Kids, and the video starts with a very catchy tune and one lightbulb walking down the road singing, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!” Next, two other light bulbs come in, and now three light bulbs are walking down the road singing, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!” Finally, more light bulbs are walking down their street, singing their song and letting their light shine for the whole neighborhood to see: “All around the world, I'll jump off the ground and shout. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.” I love the concrete illustration of that video for kids. If we let our light shine and share our faith, other people's faith is also strengthened, and others also want to tell the world about the light of Jesus! We share the best news with the world: Jesus loves you, and Jesus saves you. This is the best news we want to proclaim to all the ends of the earth because it enlightens a world darkened by sin. Have you heard the term, “childlike faith”? “Childlike faith” refers to how children believe and live their faith. Children hear the gospel, believe it, and tell everyone. They don't try to make it make sense, and they don't need it proved to them. They simply believe because they trust the person who told them. For this reason, kids can be the best evangelists. The Christian songs that you lead with your children at school become the songs the kids automatically sing at home. The prayers that you lead before snack time and lunch become their dinner prayers at home, too. Kids will tell anyone and everyone the Jesus loves them. What a blessing that they let their light shine! The world can look dark and daunting. Kids remind us to go back to the basics and to be the light Christ has called us to be. Jesus loves me; this I know. I am a light, and I'm going to let it shine. Prayer: Dear Jesus, Thank you for allowing us to be your messengers. Thank you for the little lives we get to share your amazing news with every day. It's a blessing to be able to grow your kingdom, and we are thankful for the opportunity to do so. Amen. A Question to Consider: Has there been a moment this week that you have seen a child have “childlike faith”? Can you think of a way in the next week that you can let your light shine?
