We're back for round two LIVE from the Helena booth at the Farm Progress Show! This time, we're joined by Helena product managers Mark Christianson and Paul Sauer for a conversation that covers everything from new products to why farming can look completely different depending on where you call home. We dig into Testament, one of Helena's new products, including what it is, what it does, and even how products like this get their names. Because, let's be honest, "Testament" sounds less like something you spray on a crop and more like a metal band. From there, we get into the differences in farming practices across the country. What makes sense in Tennessee might look completely different in North or South Dakota. We talk tillage versus no-till, why certain practices are more prevalent in some regions than others, and how soil, climate, and growing conditions influence the decisions farmers make. It's a great conversation with two guys who know the products and the industry, and another fun episode straight from the Farm Progress Show. A huge thank you to Mark and Paul for joining us, and to Helena for hosting Talk Dirt To Me at their booth and continuing to support the show. We're proud to have them as a partner and appreciate the opportunity to bring these conversations to you live from FPS. Go check out Helena!

An update on the Illinois Agricultural Leadership Foundation Class of 2027. Kurt Maertens with BASF discusses crop protection products during the Farm Progress Show earlier this month. DTN Weather Risk Communicator Teresa Wells says northern Illinois is forecast to receive heavy rain this week while southern Illinois will experience heat.
Corn just had its best month since April 2021 and was up 15% in August alone, above $5 for the first time since October 2023. But if you're expecting the equipment market to turn on a dime, the data says pump the brakes. Andy Campbell breaks down 4,600 dealer transactions from the Farm Progress Show floor, covering row crop tractor velocity, margin erosion on low-hour units, and why the corn-to-margin correlation isn't as clean as you'd think.
In this What's Working in Ag segment, Tanner gets an up-close look at Brandt's 16125 HP Swingaway Auger. With bins continuing to get taller and wider, Brandt says demand is growing for equipment capable of keeping up. The 16125 can move up to 23,000 bushels per hour, with Brandt recommending roughly a 300-horsepower tractor for the job.Chance explains the engineering behind Brandt's HP—or High Performance—design, including an oversized 17-inch intake section and hopper designed to keep the main auger full and increase capacity. The Easy Swing System also allows operators to hydraulically position the heavy swing hopper from either side and control it through truck remotes or Brandt's LeadHand App on a smartphone. The result is serious grain-moving capacity—roughly enough to unload a 1,000-bushel truck about every five minutes. Brandt also offers 10- and 13-inch auger options, while the 16-inch model adds an A-frame undercarriage, extendable axles, heavy lift cylinders, and adjustable cables for stability when reaching larger bins.

We're LIVE from the Farm Progress Show 2026 with Helena Agri-Enterprises! In this episode, we're joined by Jody Lawrence and Austin Anderson for a deep dive into one of the biggest conversations in agriculture right now: what the hell is driving these markets? With $13 soybeans and $5+ corn, we break down what's behind the recent run-up, whether today's markets are more volatile than they used to be, and what farmers should be watching as we look ahead toward 2027. Are these prices sustainable? What forces are moving the market? And what could change the picture going into next season? But good prices only matter if you've got bushels to sell. We also get into the agronomic side of the equation and talk about ways farmers can get more out of every acre. We dig into Grounded, a proprietary Helena adjuvant, why it could be a game changer for an operation, and how it can deliver value without breaking the bank. This was a great episode for us not only because of the conversation, but because we got to record it LIVE from Farm Progress Show and showcase our partnership with Helena Agri-Enterprises.

A new USDA data modernization plan, a rancher-first initiative and the latest technology showcased at the Farm Progress Show headline today's episode. We also look at how propane-powered generators helped supply electricity for air conditioning inside the show's buildings. This week's top agriculture headlines include USDA updates aimed at giving farmers and ranchers more flexibility to process and sell meat, a rancher-first initiative and a higher agricultural export forecast. We also discuss what the latest surveys indicate about farmer sentiment in August and what the EPA's approval of small refinery exemptions means for U.S. agriculture. In this week's interview, we speak with Michael Newland, director of agriculture business development for the Propane Education & Research Council, about how propane generators can provide reliable power for agricultural operations and construction projects while helping producers and builders manage energy costs. We also discuss a new program from PERC that is doubling funding available through the Propane Farm Research Program for farms affected by severe weather this year.

On this special road edition of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, the No-Till Farmer editorial team shares their top conservation ag takeaways and observations at the 2026 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa.
The September 3, 2026, broadcast of the *Closing Market Report*, hosted by Todd Gleason, covers commodity price movements, farm financial projections, federal data initiatives, and severe weather patterns affecting agriculture. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net analyzes the day's market dynamics, highlighting how grain futures rebounded from early-session lows as speculative buying met profit-taking ahead of the three-day holiday weekend, while noting that late-season heat is rapidly advancing crop drydown without heavily damaging early-planted corn. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027 budgets, University of Illinois agricultural economist Nick Paulson reports that while higher corn and soybean prices are driving positive projected net returns in Central and Northern Illinois, rising input costs—especially for fertilizer and fuel tied to Middle Eastern geopolitical conflict—continue to keep overall margins below long-term historical averages of $100 per acre. From the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, USDA Under Secretary Scott Hutchins details the agency's four-pillar data modernization initiative aimed at reducing survey burdens on farmers, utilizing satellite and NASA geospatial imagery for yield forecasts, eliminating cross-agency redundancy through AI and advanced analytics, and improving reporting transparency. Concluding the report, meteorologist Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather warns of historic late-season heat running 8 to 10 degrees above normal across the U.S. Corn Belt, while pointing to an exceptionally strong El Niño pattern that is bringing unseasonable early rains to central Brazil and heavy precipitation to southern South American grain belts.01:50 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:12 farmodc 2027 Corn and Soybean Returns13:48 USDA Announces Data Modernization Plan16:22 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, we cover a lot of ground as harvest officially gets underway (the earliest for Logan) in West Tennessee. We look back on our time at the Tennessee Corn Growers Association's 40th anniversary celebration and talk about just how surreal it is to see how far Talk Dirt to Me has come. Getting invited to events like this is something we don't take for granted, and we couldn't have done any of it without the continued support of our listeners. We also share some huge news: Talk Dirt to Me has officially partnered with Helena Agri-Enterprises! We're incredibly excited about what this partnership means for the show, and we talk about our upcoming trip to the Farm Progress Show, where we'll be recording live from Helena's booth. Finally, Logan has started shelling corn and shares the early results from his low-nitrogen approach this season. The corn is actually producing more bushels than the pounds of nitrogen applied, but depending on how you look at it, that could be either encouraging or raise some bigger questions. We break down the economics, efficiency, and broader implications of producing respectable yields with fewer inputs. We also talk a little whiskey in this one! From major podcast milestones and exciting partnerships to harvest updates and nitrogen debates, this episode covers a little bit of everything.

This Farm4Profit Podcast episode introduces NexOpt, a new asset management and GPS tracking system that promises to change how farmers monitor equipment, track service, and manage downtime. Our guest, Sherie Jones, Operations Manager at STEINBAUER USA, shares how NexOpt—founded in 2016—has already been adopted by industries like postal services, broadcasters, and leasing companies in Europe, and why now is the right time to bring it to the U.S.Key themes from the conversation include:What Makes NexOpt Different: Unlike traditional telematics systems tied to one carrier, NexOpt is cell-provider independent, can store data offline and upload later, and is engineered entirely in-house for reliability. Sherie also explains how the system uses a fraction of the data compared to competitors.Why Farmers Should Care: From real-time tracking of machines to the Service History feature that logs invoices, technician notes, and repair photos, NexOpt helps farmers replace messy spreadsheets and paper records with one digital solution. For row-crop, livestock, and custom operators alike, this can reduce downtime during critical planting or harvest windows.Features & Functionality: Farmers gain tools like breadcrumb trails, idle time tracking, fault code reporting, and customizable analytics. Sherie shares which features early adopters love most and how even non-tech-savvy users can navigate the platform with ease.ROI and Practical Use: Sherie outlines the cost structure (setup + per-vehicle monthly fee), where farmers typically see the return on investment, and whether it's better to pilot a few machines or roll out across an entire fleet.The U.S. Launch: Debuting at the Farm Progress Show, NexOpt is kicking things off with T-shirt giveaways, a cooler raffle, and even a shrimp boil and gumbo dinner for attendees.This episode highlights how smarter tracking can turn maintenance into a profit driver, giving farmers more time in the field and fewer unexpected breakdowns.

Ep 227 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into parasites in your salmon, Post Malone's fashion debut, and a conspiracy theory about Babybel cheese --- plus why the Maha grocery trend might backfire. First up: Wild-caught salmon filled with living parasites. A viral video shows worms crawling out of fresh salmon from Costco, sparking conversations about food safety, flash freezing, and the reality that up to 80% of wild salmon can harbor parasites. The hosts explore why this is normal in natural ecosystems and how proper handling makes it safe. Then, Post Malone launches his Austin Post Apparel line at Paris Fashion Week. While the western-inspired collection stayed true to his personal style, the hosts debate whether it was too safe for such a high-profile debut. From cowboy boots to turquoise jewelry, they weigh authenticity versus innovation in western fashion. Next up: A hilarious conspiracy theory connecting Babybel cheese to Maker's Mark whiskey. Both require peeling off red wax to access the goodness inside --- coincidence or calculated grooming by Big Charcuterie? The hosts dive into the comment section gold and share their own charcuterie secrets. Finally, an Atlantic article warns that "Maha washing" is making junk food seem healthier through superficial changes like removing dyes while ignoring real issues like sugar content. The hosts discuss whether the Make America Healthy Again movement has lost its way. BUT WAIT --- there's more! Stick around for an exclusive Case IH interview recorded live at Farm Progress Show. Natalie talks with livestock specialist Brian Williams about the new Farm All lineup, including the return of the historic Super M tractor and innovations in telematics technology. What We Discovered This Week
We are back this week at the Farm Progress Show in the John Deere Booth talking about green and yellow John Deere equipment and how to properly install food plots with various pieces of equipment. Not every food plot gets planted the same way, the approach varies greatly depending upon the starting point. Are you starting with timber, or an old log landing, or perhaps an old field is being converted into a food plot. Follow along as we go step-by-step on how to properly get that food pot plot planted. Skid steers, tractors, and the various implements can get confusing, which one do you use and when? We break this down for the audience to create a guide on installation with food plots. We often find that food plots get more complicated than they should be. It's important to know when to sit down a piece of equipment and when to pick up a different one, whether that be clearing, grading, burning, planting or spraying! We hope this podcast helps you become a more effective food plot planter!
This week's agriculture news highlights policy developments as Congress returns to session, including updates on labor, environmental regulations and water policy. We also bring insights from Bayer Crop Science on the future of short corn. A federal district court in Louisiana recently vacated part of the 2023 Adverse Effect Wage Rate Rule, specifically the H-2A disaggregation provision. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency has withdrawn proposed revisions to wastewater regulations for meat and poultry processors. Looking ahead, the Trump administration is preparing to propose a new Clean Water Act rule in the coming weeks. Additional reports point to a projected increase in U.S. net farm income in 2025, along with new insights on ag export trends. A conversation on the future of short corn, in addition to what it provides to growers, is this week's interview with two voices from Bayer Crop Science: NA Technical Product Lead for Preceon™ Devin Hammer and Digital Enablement Product Lead Andy Folta. They share how shorter, thicker stalks benefit the plant, the length of time Bayer has been testing the Preceon™ Smart Corn System, and how short corn can also be utilized for silage. This discussion took place at the recent Farm Progress Show with Ag News Daily Co-Host Tanner Winterhof.

This week we are recording live in the John Deere booth at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois. This event is huge in the agriculture world so this week's message is inclusive to owners of all different land-use types. From Ag-land, to timber production land and even cattle pastures, we talk to producers of different crops and how to expand operations and value land with some outside of the box thinking. It is easy to become singular minded when an operation is dependent upon success to hold the land, but oftentimes that singular focus can also be the thing that holds you back as a landowner. So, we breakdown each land use type and discuss the avenues out there for landowners to really increase revenue streams and find the max value in your land holdings. We hope you enjoy this educational podcast all about land ownership! Thank you John Deere for the invite as well, we will be back next year!
