In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we dive into fragipan soils—a major challenge impacting farmers across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee—with expert guests Dr. Murdock and Billy from AgX. Fragipan soils create a dense, compacted layer beneath the topsoil, restricting root growth and limiting access to nutrients and water, leading to significant yield loss.We discuss the groundbreaking research from the University of Kentucky, where a 10-year study has explored using annual rye grass to break through the fragipan layer. Dr. Murdock and Billy explain how organic acids from rye roots help improve water infiltration, release trapped nutrients, and enhance crop yields—leading to real-world results of 160-220 bushel yields and even 300 bushels in NCGA trials.Tune in to learn about innovative soil management strategies, products like Upward and Octane, and how farmers can start implementing these solutions to overcome fragipan challenges and boost profitability!www.agxplore.com  Want Farm4Profit Merch?

The warning lights are blinking for the world's food supply. At least that's what 150 Nobel Prize and World Food Prize laureates said in a recently-published open letter calling for a “moonshot” urgency effort to start the immediate ramping up of food production to meet the global demands of 9.7 billion people by 2050. Harvard Kennedy School economist Wolfram Schlenker, the new Ray A. Goldberg Professor of the Global Food System says doing that will require urgent policy changes and, in some cases, policy reversals to meet those goals against the headwinds of climate change. Even as crop yields are under stress due to rising temperatures and extreme weather events, Schlenker says spending on research and development of new, climate-resistant crops and other food technologies has declined. Countries are also starting to put up more protectionist barriers around their domestic agricultural sectors, undermining the global free trade in staple food commodities that is essential to preventing severe agricultural shocks that can result in civil upheaval, mass migration, and global instability. Schlenker is the co-author of a groundbreaking study in 2009 which found that crop yields fall precipitously after reaching a certain heat threshold. The study's conclusions were validated just three years later when a heat wave over the U.S. corn belt saw yields drop by 25 percent. With 700 million people globally already classified as undernourished and the world having at least temporarily breached the crucial 1.5 degrees Celsius warming standard in 2024, it may be the most important problem nobody's talking about. Schlenker joins PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli to talk about the ticking global food crisis clock and policy changes that could make a difference.Wolfram Schlenker's Policy Recommendations:Limit beggar-thy-neighbor agricultural policies where countries impose export restrictions when food prices rise. Specifically, implement the Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture passed at COP-28 by ensuring that the World Trade Organization has an enforcement mechanism that limits trade restrictions in agricultural markets following climatic events.Reverse the current decline in public R&D funding for agricultural technologies. Private companies, which currently conduct most of the R&D, do not have the correct incentives to innovate when there are positive spillovers on others.Ensure that the Social Cost of Carbon — the cost of emitting an extra ton of CO2 — reflects its impact on all countries and not just the U.S., as climate change is a global problem.Episode Notes:Wolfram Schlenker is the Ray A. Goldberg Professor of the Global Food System at Harvard Kennedy School. An economist and engineer by training, he studies the intersection of climate, agriculture, and the global economy. His research interests include:The effect of weather and climate on agricultural yields and migration,How climate trends and the U.S. biofuel mandate influences agricultural commodity pricesHow pollution impacts both agricultural yields and human morbidity. He is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He currently serves on the Board of Reviewing Editors at Science.Schlenker holds a PhD in agricultural and resource economics from the University of California, Berkeley, a master's in engineering and management Sciences from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, and a master's in environmental management from Duke University (1998).Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

In this episode of the Yara Crop Nutrition Podcast, Yara Regional Sales Manager and grower, Peter DeBoer, helps us understand the critical role of post-harvest nutrition for effective crop management, with a particular focus on almond farming. They emphasize the importance of nutrient sampling and how it can directly influence both crop yield and the economic impact of fertilizer application. The discussion covers common mistakes in post-harvest agricultural practices, the need for transparent communication between growers and advisors, and how strategic nutrition planning can support sustainable farming. Key takeaways include using post-harvest applications to mitigate plant stress and the long-term value of nutrient sampling in avoiding wasted resources. 

A virus which affects capsicum and tomato production has re-emerged, prompting calls for farmers to ramp up biosecurity efforts. Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus can reduce crop yields by up to 70-percent -- it can only be controlled by destroying infected plants.

Accurate irrigation scheduling maximizes the benefits of irrigation and reduces the damage over-, or under-irrigation does to your crops. Often people schedule irrigation by feel rather than by plant need. Unfortunately, some irrigation scheduling methods can be wildly inaccurate since plant water needs and the amount of soil water available to plants are affected by climate, plant size, soil type, and rooting depth. Accurate irrigation scheduling aims to replace soil water lost by evaporation and plant use as precisely as possible. There are several online apps available to help today with irrigation scheduling. In fact, the LSU AgCenter is about to release a new app that is adaptive to drought conditions. This is a unique app and one you want to take a look at. During this Training episode, Dr. Stacia L Davis Conger from the LSU AgCenter will step us through online scheduling apps. During this webinar, you will learn the following: How and why online apps work for farming Why an online tool that considers drought is valuable How online tools are developed How the LSU AgCenter tool (in real-time) works

Patricio Grassini discusses the potential to feed the world without more deforestation and conversion of wetlands to agriculture. He is Sunkist Distinguished Professor of Agronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Co-leader of The Global Yield Gap Atlas Project, the world's leading database describing 13 major food crops. If the human population continues on its current growth path, the World Resources Institute estimates we will need 56% more food without expanding farmlands, which are typically carved out of forested areas critical to reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere. We also discuss the potential impact of climate change on crop yields in the second half of the century.Patricio has published many studies in Nature and other journals over the past decade about the potential to close crop yield gaps — the difference between what is currently grown and the potential maximum output for each crop and the land used to grow it. He argues the yeild gaps in rice, maize, palm oil, and soy and other legumes can be closed using today's existing farmland with more intensive use of land, known as cropping intensity, by improving pest control, and using fertilizer.

In order to meet the demands of a growing human population, farmers across the globe are attempting to improve the yields and nutritional content of their crops. However, this is an especially difficult challenge, in an age where climate change is negatively impacting our agricultural systems. To address these pressing issues, Dr Lynn Brandenberger and Dr Joshua Massey of Oklahoma State University focus on the intersection of soil health and crop production. Recently, they demonstrated how cover crops can greatly improve soil health and, consequently, enhance crop yields.

No-till farming is not new.  In fact, it was used as far back as 10,000 years ago.  But during the 18th and 19th centuries, tilling became popular because it allowed farmers to plant seeds more efficiently. Tilling (or ploughing) is the process of preparing the soil for the cultivation of seeds by overturning the soil.  […]

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news there are new or renewed threats to the global recovery emerging.But first in China, reports are filtering out that Beijing is detaining and arresting analysts who report on crop yields. This sort of work is very hard to do unless you tour and observe crop regions first hand (which is how it is done is most countries). But independent reports have been snuffed out in China over the past few weeks. It does raise the question about why Beijing needs to be so heavy handed on this arcane, technical corner of market assessments.China is looking to grow its passenger car market by +10% this year. And a key part of that is an expected nearly +50% surge in sales of new energy vehicles. This rise would put them on track to sell a quarter of all cars as NEVs by 2025. Lithium mining is set for an even bigger boost if this transpires and lithium mining is an especially dirty process at present. If SRI funds aim to avoid polluters, why should they think battery cars are 'green'? At present, Australia is the top lithium miner and China's NEV drive will benefit them most. Although most of the known lithium reserves are in South America.Despite its drive to control commodity prices, China is still not getting iron ore or coal prices down. Threats against 'speculators' are growing, but so far it seems this latest rise is more a reaction to regulators limiting supply.As we have reported previously, Australia is challenging the Chinese tariffs on barley aimed at it. Now Australia is doing the same at the WTO against the Chinese for the tariffs the middle kingdom has applied against it for its wine exports. Neither action will be resolved soon and if the decisions go against China they will almost certainly appeal, stringing out the 'illegal' tariffs. But Australia's action won't be impressing Beijing as it ramps up its efforts to stand up to them. Beijing isn't used to being challenged.They are also annoyed at Japan who have started an action against Chinese tariffs on stainless steel products.In Australia, an influential economist now says their official cash rate will start rising in 2023.In Germany, producer prices are zooming higher, with input prices up +7.2% in May from the same month a year ago. That is their steepest annual rise in 13 years.In virus news, the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) that first emerged in India, is now in a serious surge in Russia and parts of Europe, especially in the UK where it is well established. A key concern is its ease and speed of transmission. This is the strain raging in Fiji now and the one causing concern in Sydney. It is also causing concern in the US.In the US, a key Federal Reserve official said that he sees the first rate hike by the American central bank coming as early as 2022. This is way earlier than the recent indications from the Fed's own meeting dot-plot. Some people like the new shift. But it is a view that unnerved Wall Street, delivering an almost -1% retreat in its Friday session. Oddly, bond markets reacted by driving down yields, an unexpected shift.Along the US-Canada border, there are two events to report that affect trade. First, the Americans are unhappy the Canadian government is keeping the border closed to people movements based on the pandemic risks. But perhaps more importantly, the Lake Ontario/St Laurence Waterway levels are now so low they are affecting shipping in one of the world's busiest waterways. This is adding to supply-chain difficulties and adding to shipping costs with echoes internationally.Canadians took out almost C$18 bln worth of new mortgage debt in April, the fastest monthly increase on record and enough to bring their total housing debt to almost C$2 tln and a +7.8% annual rise.The UST 10yr yield starts today down -1 bp at 1.44% and giving up all of its gains since mid-June. The price of gold starts at US$1764 which is down another -US$4 from this time Saturday.Oil prices are a little softer at just over US$71/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is just over US$72.50/bbl. The slow pick-up in drilling rigs in operation accelerated last week. In North America, there are now 300 more operating than this time last year, so they have now more than doubled in that time and are back to year-ago levels.The Kiwi dollar opens today at 69.3 USc and starts this week a full -2c lower than this time last week, its lowest since November 2020. It is really all about a surging greenback. Against the Australian dollar we are little-changed at 92.7 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 58.5 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at just 72 and a six month low.The bitcoin price is now at US$34,555 and down another -3.0% from this time Saturday and -11% lower than this time last week. Volatility in the past 24 hours has been very high at +/- 4.2%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

According to a new study by Oregon State University researchers, co-developing land for both solar voltaic power and agriculture could provide 20% of total electricity generation in the United States with an investment of less than 1% of the annual U.S. budget. The concept is known as agrivoltaics – using the same land for both […]

When talking about the causes of climate warming, it is common practice to bundle together various pollutants and express their effects in terms of “CO2 equivalence.”  This involves comparing climate effects of the pollutants on a 100-year timescale.  Recent research from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Germany points out the problems with this […]

Honestly, how much do you actually think about where your cannabis comes from? Have you ever considered growing yourself? Brian Malin is the CEO and founder of Vital Garden Supply, Vital Grown, and Vital Distribution. Today, he grows cannabis on a commercial scale, and he's also a sought-after expert on organic gardening methods for cannabis farms. But like most people, Brian got his start growing plants at home with a buddy.   In this episode, Jesse Betend meets one of the people behind the plants and talks to him about how he went from the closet, to hauling crop yields. They also talk about which cultivars to pick when you're growing commercially, and once you've crossed them, how to come up with a name. Vital Garden Supply Website   On The High Ground, we feature leaders of the cannabis industry.

As combines roll across Ontario, growers are harvesting impressive crops that in many cases are producing record yields. But with all that excitement, it’s important to remember the impact those huge yields will have on nutrient removal and what they take out of your soil bank account.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news China has a big problem with mortgage foreclosures.But first, in a sign of a recovered economy, the upcoming Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) is expected to raise the total number of domestic flight trips made during the holiday to more than 15 million, a +10% rise from last year. Of course, some of that will be because many international destinations are not open, but still, the bulk of Golden Week travel is domestic anyway.And staying in China, new official data claims that their digital economy accounted for over two-thirds of China's GDP growth in 2019 from about one third of all its economic activity.But all is not well there. In 2018, a data service reported 180,000 home foreclosures in China. In 2019 the same source reported 300,000. To the middle of September 2020 they are saying 1.25 mln homes were foreclosed on by banks in China as vast numbers of people struggled with meeting mortgage payments due to "deteriorating job prospects and shrinking income". How credible the source is, is up for conjecture, but it is part of the giant Alibaba service. You would think they would know.And the grain price rise in China is attracting speculators, accentuating their problems with low domestic supply and high import demand.In Japan, like everyone else, they are making no progress reigniting inflation, partly because of fiscal policies. Japan's core consumer prices fell at their fastest pace in almost four years in August, dragged down mostly by government-sponsored discounts for domestic travel aimed at supporting the battered tourism sector. Now, also like everyone else, they are shifting the goalposts to include jobs growth as a core monetary policy mandate.In the US, the latest poll of consumer sentiment remains very negative year-on-year (-15%) but improved in September from August. Things are even more negative year-on-year about current economic conditions (-19%) but less so for future expectations (-12%).The US Fed balance sheet is rising again, up +$54 bln in the last week to September 16 and the fastest rise in 15 weeks. In the period from mid-May to early July, it was well over $7 tln and then fell back steadily. Now it is back up sharply to US$7.06 tln. A rise like this indicates the Fed mandarins think their economy and financial system is in need of enhanced support.And surging deposits and declining lending are driving banks to dramatically increase their holdings of US Treasury bonds, underpinning support for their bond market at a time of unprecedented government borrowing. And that support in significant.The US Administration raised its agricultural subsidies overnight by another US$14 bln in what has been described a "vote-buying".Prospects for economic support from Congressional fiscal action is fading fast as Republicans block any meaningful aid. Oddly Democrats, and now the Trump Administration seem willing to act.The S&P500 futures trading suggests that Wall Street will open -1% lower tomorrow.In Australia, which currently has about 1 mln unemployed, industrial action on the Sydney waterfront has the potential to add many more. Wharf workers are striking, and now major shipping lines are refusing to dock in the face of endless cargo unloading delays. Diversion to Melbourne is a poor option because of limited operations there in their pandemic restrictions.Of course, it is not all bad in Australia. Despite their recession, business is booming across farms amid drought breaking rains and rising commodity prices.The latest global compilation of COVID-19 data is here. The global tally is 30,859,000 and up +562,000 in two days. Global deaths now exceed 959,000.Just under a quarter of all reported cases globally are in the US, which is up 84,000 in two weekend days to 6,987,000. In Australia, there have now been 26,898 COVID-19 cases reported, and that is just +37 more cases from Saturday. Deaths however are up at 849. The UST 10yr yield is still at 0.70% and unchanged since the end of trading on Wall Street. The price of gold will start today down -US$4 at US$1949/oz.Oil prices are little-changed today at US$41/bbl in the US while the international price is down slightly, to just on US$43/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is starting the week firmer at 67.7 USc and almost +1c higher than this time last week. Against the Australian dollar we are unchanged in a week at 92.7 AUc. Against the euro we are up at 57.1 euro cents and a +½% appreciation in a week. That means our TWI-5 has risen to 70.5.The bitcoin price is a little-changed today, still at US$10,898 and very similar to where we left it on Saturday.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Consistent quality flower with increased crop yields with Peter Dougherty, CEO of Orion Partners. Orion Partners Gro iQ platform helps cultivators increase crop yields and produce consistent quality flower. The Gro iQ analytics platform helps cultivators increase cultivation command and control measured in increased grams per sq foot and reduced cost per gram results. Data is KING as they say. And now that we’ve got a few years of state-legal programs under our belt, there is actually quite a bit of data to crunch.

Story 1: Portland Oregon company uses AI to improve recycling. Story 2: BASF uses new technology to optimize crop yields. Story 3: A university in Thailand has developed a new catalyst for biofuel production.

Mobile phones are improving lives and yields for millions of farmers around the world. Michael Kremer, a 2019 Economics Nobel Prize winner developed Precision Agriculture for Development (PAD) to give farmers in developing countries advice on how to improve their yields. He and Owen Barder, CEO of PAD, tell Digital Planet how it works. To reduce failures on surveillance or delivery missions, drones need to be monitored effectively. Karen Willcox at the Oden Institute of the University of Texas in Austin explains how her team has found a way to send back real time data using sensors that create a digital twin of the drone, which can show where fatigue and stress may cause damage during the flight. Racist and sexist biases within algorithms are causing concern, especially considering they are making many decisions in our lives. Noel Sharkey, Professor of Robotics and AI at the University of Sheffield in the UK, and he thinks it’s time to halt this decision making until it can be properly regulated, or it will have major, real-life effects on all of us.

Click "download" to listen now Russ Higgins, commercial agriculture educator, calls-in to talk with host Richard Hentschel about how the record yields over the last three years will be used domestically and worldwide. Current prices have shifted from the demand side to a supply side, keeping prices stable. Exports can be the grain itself or a byproduct of domestic grain use, such as ethanol. Russ also talks about future uses for the grain itself and potential new products.

With more than 1 billion people estimated to not have enough to eat, food security is a pervasive problem. An estimated one-third of the global burden of disease afflicting children under the age of 5 is caused by undernutrition. Climate change is anticipated to reduce cereal yields, further threatening food security and potentially increasing child undernutrition. In this podcast, host Ashley Ahearn discusses the connection between climate change and undernutrition with researcher Sari Kovats.
