It's Clean Water Wednesday on The Big Show! Bob is in Newhall, Iowa with the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance, Linn Co-op Oil Company, Iowa Soybean Association, and The Nature Conservancy in Iowa as the sponsors of today's program!

With tar spot detected in three Iowa counties, Meaghan Anderson from Iowa State Extension tells us about scouting and fighting it. Brian Hoops from Midwest Market Solutions is today's market analyst. We'll dig into 45Z tax credits with Monte Shaw from the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. And we sit down with Kirk Leeds for our monthly update from the Iowa Soybean Association!

www.iasoybeans.com/Farm4Profit Through more than 200 on-farm trials each year, the Iowa Soybean Association is helping farmers make better decisions based on real-world conditions, not controlled plots. Their work spans everything from seeding rates to fungicide use to nitrogen efficiency, all with one goal: improving profitability and sustainability at the farm level. One of the biggest takeaways? Many farmers are planting more soybean seeds than they need. Research shows populations can often be reduced to around 110,000 seeds per acre without sacrificing yield, creating a clear opportunity to cut input costs in tight-margin years. Another major focus has been fungicide and insecticide applications. Despite common “program” approaches where these products are applied every season, multiple years of trials have shown that in the absence of disease pressure, these applications rarely pay. In fact, only about one in five blanket applications delivers a return, reinforcing the importance of scouting before making application decisions. The conversation also highlights how far crop genetics have come—reducing the need for routine treatments that may have made sense years ago but don't always deliver value today. On the corn side, nitrogen efficiency continues to stand out. Some of the most efficient operators are producing strong yields using as little as 0.6 pounds of nitrogen per bushel by leveraging practices like split applications and better timing. Trials are also exploring the value of stabilizers in spring-applied nitrogen, showing early signs that protecting that investment can make a difference. At its core, this episode reinforces a simple but powerful idea: farmers don't need more data—they need better data they can trust. And when that data comes directly from farms like theirs, it becomes a tool they can use with confidence. If you're looking for ways to trim costs, improve efficiency, and make smarter agronomic decisions, this is a conversation worth paying attention to. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Agriculture in Iowa is vital to feeding the world, but it poses challenges for water quality and flood management due to nutrient runoff and extreme weather. One innovative solution is the restoration of oxbow lakes—former river bends that have become disconnected from streams. These revitalized oxbows filter out nutrients like nitrates, provide habitat for endangered species such as the Topeka shiner, and offer flood storage to reduce downstream impacts.In this episode, Brandon Iddings of the Iowa Soybean Association explains the restoration process, which involves collaboration with landowners and partners like U.S. Fish and Wildlife. John Marshall, a farmer in Iowa, discusses the benefits of having oxbows restored on his land, from reducing nutrient runoff to creating wildlife habitats and improving flood resilience. With over 250 oxbows restored statewide and growing interest among farmers, these projects are delivering economic and environmental returns while showcasing the power of simple, nature-based solutions.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet.
