Food security expert David Lobell is immersed in the data of agriculture. He uses satellite imagery, yield data, and advanced computational modeling to analyze the roughly 500 million farms worldwide to increase productivity and ensure global food security – now and in the future. Though food is often taken for granted, feeding a hungry world is our greatest environmental challenge, he says. Lobell goes on to explain how data can do much more than increase yields – it also cuts costs, prevents conflicts, reduces emissions and deforestation, and improves nutrition. Smart farming is key to food security and avoiding the problems that stem from hunger, Lobell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

A successful canola crop needs a lot of nitrogen, which is why nitrogen has A-list status. That same successful crop also depends on a strong supporting cast - phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and micronutrients. Canola council of Canada agronomy specialist Warren Ward says farmers will benefit from soil tests, yield history and economics to determine how much fertilizer their canola needs.ANDProtein is an important component in a person's diet---whether it be animal-based or plant-based. Nationally recognized registered dietician Carol Harrison says protein has many benefits, but questions come up on different the types of protein, how much is enough, are plant and animal-based proteins the same.She will also have some tips on how to extend your meat budget a bit more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Canola ran hard. The question wasn't whether to celebrate — it was whether to protect what you'd built. This session came out of a real conversation with a GARS advisor who pointed out something most producers have never heard explained clearly: options and production insurance don't just coexist — they can amplify each other. If you structure it right, you can protect your floor, leave your ceiling open, and potentially have the government subsidize the cost of the strategy through AgriStability. That's the thesis Ryan Bonnett walked through live. He's been trading futures and coaching producers through options for 20 years. He was joined by Derek Tallon — a central Saskatchewan grain farmer who sold 400 tons of canola the week before this session — for a real-world producer perspective on how these tools actually get used. And David Sullivan from Global Ag Risk Solutions rounded out the room with everything you need to know about where production insurance fits into the picture. Nobody was selling anything theoretical here. This was a working session. Topics covered: How to quantify your bullish or bearish position before you ever place a trade — and why gut feelings without numbers will get you burned The difference between call and put options, and when each one belongs in your marketing plan How a collar strategy works in practice: buying a $700 put and selling an $800 call for a net cost of around $10/ton — and what you're giving up to get it Why "I'll hold the option a little longer after I sell the grain" is where hedgers become speculators How paper trades through your RBC or STONEX account interact differently with your GARS policy than a delivery-tied contract does — and why that distinction matters The AgriStability angle: how your option strategy cost becomes an eligible expense, and what that means if you're one of the many producers sitting close to a claim this year What a "whole farm put" actually looks like and how it covers commodities you can't hedge on the exchange The fertilizer and fuel hedging conversation nobody else is having Useful timestamps: 00:04:17 — Ryan introduces the bullish/bearish framework and canola market context 00:07:00 — Crowd poll results: where producers' heads are at on canola prices 00:13:00 — Technical analysis walkthrough: support, resistance, and where this market could run to 00:26:22 — Call and put options explained cleanly 00:35:10 — How put options work as price insurance without elevator contracts 00:39:33 — The collar strategy: how to cheapen your protection 00:42:36 — Derek Tallon's producer perspective on using options as farm insurance 00:46:46 — David Sullivan: how options interact with your GARS production insurance 00:50:00 — The AgriStability layer: how your option cost could be 80% subsidized 00:59:32 — When and how to exit the strategy properly 01:04:29 — Fertilizer and fuel: the hedging conversation farmers aren't having yet 01:17:00 — The hardest part: closing your hedge the same day you make your physical sale Guests in this episode: Ryan Bonnett — independent commodity trading advisor, 20 years of experience coaching Western Canadian producers through options and futures strategies. Derek Tallon — grain producer, central Saskatchewan. Grows canola, wheat, and durum. Brings a grounded, practical lens on how these tools work at the farm level. David Sullivan — production insurance advisor, Global Ag Risk Solutions (GARS). Expert in how production insurance, AgriStability, and marketing strategies interact. One thing that stuck: David put it plainly — a 5,000-acre producer is sitting long on $2.5 to $3 million of grain the moment they plant. Most traders would never carry a position that size unhedged. Most producers do it every single year without thinking about it that way. That framing alone is worth the listen.

The crew breaks down what soil test “extractions” actually measure, why Mehlich-3 and Bray phosphorus numbers can disagree (especially in low pH soils), and why saturated paste is equal parts chemistry and “perfect brownie mix.” They also sort through base saturation talk, potassium response drivers, rooting depth, and why tissue test numbers can swing with weather more than soil supply.Up front, you'll also hear a quick crop update recorded at the Oklahoma Cattle Conference: wheat and canola are starting to respond, diamondback moths are showing up in canola, and the big message for 2026 is to protect flexibility—make informed fertility calls, watch moisture conditions, and don't spend like it's a “maximum yield” year if the economics don't pencil.10 TakeawaysIn 2026 economics, flexibility matters—don't lock in every fertility decision early.Use in-rich strips and real field info to guide N rates, especially in a “cost-cutting year.”Phosphorus is the troublemaker: pH and soil chemistry can make test results look contradictory.Mehlich-3 vs Bray disagreements often come down to what chemical pools each extractant can access.If pH is low, fix that first—otherwise you can “chase P” without getting the response you expect.Saturated paste is useful for salinity/salt issues, but it's a technique-sensitive, “art + science” test.Base saturation ratios sound appealing, but often don't pay to chase compared to bigger constraints.Heavy clay and shallow rooting can masquerade as “cation ratio problems”—look for the real limiting factor.Potassium response may be tied to rooting zone depth/limitations more than a simple top-6-inch soil test.Tissue test numbers can swing with the environment; treat them as clues, not automatic prescriptions.Timestamped Rundown00:00:00–00:01:35 — Welcome + episode setupDave previews the topic: soil nutrition deep dive and an interview with Jace Whitehead, OSU Plant & Soil Sciences alum and soil-testing lab owner.00:01:35–00:22:44 — Crop update (recorded Feb. 13, 2026)Wheat/canola starting to respond; moisture “patchy,” with rain hopes and a reminder not to overreact early.Nitrogen timing: don't feel forced to put “all eggs in the basket” early; use information and flexibility.Push for in-rich strips and better decision-making in a “cost-cutting year.”Pre-plant planning: soil test now for summer crops; consider partial replacement strategies on P & K if economics demand it.Canola scouting note: diamondback moth reports.Market reality check: wheat may look good but price is weak; “hot crops” might be four-legged.00:22:44–00:24:30 — Guest introductionBrian introduces Jace Whitehead and the unusual path: starting a soils lab and building sample volume through precision ag services.00:24:30–00:29:30 — Environmental testing + saturated pasteJace explains oilfield-related soil testing and salinity work; one-to-one extracts and saturated paste use cases.Brian's saturated paste explanation: “perfect brownie mix” consistency as the endpoint.00:29:30–00:36:10 — Why phosphorus tests disagree (Mehlich vs Bray)Jace raises a producer-facing problem: Bray numbers low at low pH while Mehlich can run higher.Brian breaks down the chemistry: extractants differ in what forms they pull, and acidity complicates interpretation.Practical takeaway: address pH first; be cautious about overconfidence in a single number.00:36:10–00:40:45 — Business realities + soil trendsJace talks scale (thousands of samples/year) and why “one-off” conversations are hard to fund at low per-sample pricing.Trend discussion: rotation can drive better management attention to pH and nutrients; canola helped push rotation thinking.00:40:45–00:49:30 — Base saturation, K response, and rooting depthBase saturation & ratios: strong theory, but often weak economic payoff to chase in practice.High-magnesium soils: often a “correlation not causation” story tied to heavy clay/rooting restrictions.Big idea: we've over-focused on a 6-inch slice; better fertility management looks at the rooting zone and limiting layers.Tech wish list: on-the-go tools (even GPR-style concepts) to map depth/limitations.00:49:30–00:57:15 — What it means for producers + tissue testing reality“Find trusted advisors” who can handle both plant and soil chemistry questions, and keep asking questions.Tissue tests: Brian explains how nutrient concentrations can swing with weather/conditions, making blanket recs risky.

Geddes says variable spring weather makes early-season weed control a challenge for many growers. Dry conditions can... Read More

Harmful fats can be incredibly damaging to your health! Find out about the most dangerous fat to remove from your diet immediately and which healthy fats to replace it with. Ditch the unhealthy fats today! 0:00 Introduction: The worst fats for health0:19 Unhealthy fats explained0:53 Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats2:02 What are hydrogenated fats?3:11 Saturated fat3:50 Side effects of unhealthy fats 8:57 The most dangerous fat11:48 The benefits of healthy fatWhat are the unhealthiest types of fats? Let's take a look. Saturated fats are very stable and don't react much to oxygen because they don't have double bonds.Fats with double bonds are more unstable and react more readily with oxygen, resulting in increased oxidation. Monounsaturated fats have one double bond, while polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. More double bonds mean more oxidation. Avocado and olive oil are monounsaturated fats, so they're moderately stable. Polyunsaturated fats, such as corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soy oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil, contain many double bonds, so they're unstable and prone to significant oxidation. Hydrogenated oils are unsaturated fats that have been chemically turned into saturated fats. Saturated fats such as lard, tallow, and butter are solid at room temperature and are very stable. Although they are unsaturated fats, fish oil and cod liver oil have potent anti-inflammatory benefits and omega-3s, but can sometimes be rancid due to their instability. Be careful where you source them!Heat and light create toxic byproducts in unsaturated fats called aldehydes. These toxic compounds destroy your DNA, lodge in your cell membranes, and damage the insulin receptors on the surface of your cells. They can also make your cells stiff and fragile. For years, saturated fats have been demonized, and unsaturated fats have been recommended! This has also occurred with other foods, such as red meat and grains. Check out this comprehensive list, which ranges from the most harmful fats to the healthiest. Number 1 is the most dangerous! 1. Partially hydrogenated fat2. Hydrogenated fat3.
