Podcasts about Crop protection

Brian Hefty, a name synonymous with practical, farmer-first agronomic education. As co-host of Ag PhD TV and Radio, Brian shares what it's like to grow up on a livestock and crop farm, learn from his father's teachings, and eventually build one of the most respected agronomy platforms in agriculture alongside his brother Darren.We discuss how the Hefty Seed Company has grown to 50 locations across 12 states, making it the 7th largest crop protection retailer and 11th largest seed dealer in the country. Brian shares what it means to focus on ROI—not just cost—and why pulling more soil samples may be one of the biggest untapped opportunities in ag. He explains how trying new things, experimenting on-farm, and remaining a lifelong learner are key to long-term profitability.Brian also talks about his book, 100 an Hour Jobs: Lessons from Dad, and how early advice from his father shaped his outlook on time, value, and purpose. From his Christian faith to his family life, Brian brings authenticity to both his work and words.We get a sneak peek into upcoming events like Ag PhD Field Day (July 31) and Cultivate 2025 in Fargo, both designed to bring growers together to learn, network, and find new solutions.

Exploring the importance of a program-based approach to weed control in soybeans. Drake explains how farmers can get ahead of weed pressure by integrating multiple sites of action, using cultural practices like tillage and crop rotation, and applying preemergence herbicides before weeds become established.With planting season approaching, the discussion highlights why preemergence herbicides are crucial for preventing weeds from emerging and setting the stage for season-long control. Corteva Agriscience is introducing two new preemergence solutions—Kyber® Pro and Sonic® Boom herbicides—which provide multiple modes of action to effectively target tough-to-control weeds while ensuring crop safety and tank-mix flexibility.We also discuss the benefits of following up with a postemergence application, including how Enversa™ herbicide offers extended residual activity, superior tank-mix compatibility, and strong control against glyphosate- and ALS-resistant weeds. Drake breaks down how these new products fit into an integrated weed management system, ensuring farmers can maintain cleaner fields, protect yields, and sustain herbicide effectiveness for the future.Throughout the episode, we also address common misconceptions about program-based weed control, including concerns over cost and complexity. Drake emphasizes that while a comprehensive weed management approach may require planning, the cost of neglecting weed control is far greater in terms of lost yield potential and resistance development.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by the Executive Director of the IR-4 Project, Jerry Baron, Ph.D., and NABC Director of Government Affairs Alyssa Houtby. The IR-4 Project was established in 1963 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and land-grant universities to ensure that specialty crop farmers have legal access to safe and effective crop protection products. Baron has been the IR-4 Project's executive director since September 2006. Alyssa Houtby works closely with the NABC's Government Affairs Committee to identify and advance the industry's public policy goals through the council's advocacy platform. “The reason why the program exists is because the companies that register products … focus their research and development area on crops that give them a large and rapid return on investments, i.e. they go after corn, soybeans, cotton, so on and so forth. The specialty crops … don't have access to those products. And one of the things we do as a government organization is we go out there and develop the data to show what type of residues remain on the crop at harvest.” – Jerry Baron, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Baron and Houtby and their work. An exploration of the purpose of the IR-4 Project, and why it's important to blueberry producers for a number of reasons, including the expansion of global exportation opportunities.A discussion of the challenges faced by regulatory agencies in labeling inputs, and the work the IR-4 Project is doing to support specialty crop producers.

Today, we are joined by Amanda Freund, a third-generation farmer from East Canaan, Connecticut. Together with her father, Matt, Amanda manages their company called CowPots, where the family manufactures biodegradable containers using the dairy farm's digested and composted manure.Amanda's connection to compost goes back to her 8th-grade science fair project, where she compared different carbon sources in compost piles. She also served as an agriculture volunteer with the Peace Corps in Zambia from 2010-2012, where she trained farmers on building and maintaining compost piles. Today, she oversees production schedules, marketing, and distribution of their value-added compost products nationwide.CowPots uses pulp molding equipment to manufacture biodegradable, plantable containers from digested and composted cow manure. Currently offering 15 styles ranging in size from 3" to 17", CowPots began as a way for the family to manage their nutrients better and has grown into a profitable business that provides growers and gardeners with an American-made, renewable, and recycled alternative to plastic and peat pots.Apart from CowPots, Amanda maintains the website and social media for another farm business, Freund's Farm Market and Bakery.
