In today's episode, Tanner sits down with Kelly Garrett to discuss his positive experience participating in Truterra's carbon program.
Kelly Garrett set out to make stress reduction for his crops an overriding theme for 2022. Damian Mason sits down with Kelly who explains what a balanced plant is and why he's focusing on this subject. Maximization of inputs, yield bump, disease pressure reduction, and issues of sustainability are four benefits Kelly plans on attaining from his new focus of plant balance. What's your big 2024 objective?
Sometime between your crop's late reproductive stage and mid-winter, you have the opportunity to improve your soil quality and protect it from erosion by planting cover crops. Do you plant cover crops? Chances are, you don't. Because most farm ground acres lay barren from harvest until planting. Kelly Garrett sees that as a mistake now that he's seeing big results and financial returns after several years into his cover crop journey. Kelly is joined by Austin Tiefenthaler, a cover crop seed producer, with advice on incorporating cover crops into your operations. Presented by Loveland Products
After six years, Kelly Garrett is almost certain he'll be switching from Enlist-traited soybeans to Dicamba-traited soybeans in 2024. He and agronomist Mike Wingrove discuss the reason they're contemplating this decision. Essentially, it boils down to a herbicide resistant weed issue. Which, so far isn't costing much of a yield drag but…why wait until it does? They share with Damian Mason how they'll make the soybean switch successful. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
Mike Evans, agronomist who works with Kelly Garrett, got called to the field when the combine operators knew they were losing beans but not sure why. Turns out, the soybean plants had pods so close to the ground the machine header was running over them, unable to pick them up. That's why Mr. Evans contemplated changes in inputs to alleviate this problem. Next year they're changing out a plant growth regulator. Listen to find out how they intend to make it work. Mike and Kelly talk to Damian Mason about it on this episode of Cutting The Curve. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems

Starting in August, farmers are presented with purchasing programs for next season's inputs. Which inputs should you buy now? What programs make sense? How much different are purchase decisions in an era of higher interest rates? Those questions and more are addressed as Damian Mason sits down with Jarod Creed of JC Ag Financial and Iowa farmers Kelly Garrett and Jeremy Muff. Presented by AgXplore
In sports and in farming, it's tempting to quit early. But there's a very good reason to make that final pass: Yield. Matt and Layne Miles join Kelly Garrett to discuss the final applications they make right up 'til R-5. They explain their final pass and discuss the economics of spraying — even if it's with aerial aircraft — a month before the combines roll. If you're contemplating one last pass, listen to this. But be warned, if your crops were neglected all season, a fourth quarter pass won't save you. As Loveland Products' Ron Calhoun says, “A Hail Mary to the end zone is still only worth one touchdown, and that's not enough to win if you're down big.” Presented by Loveland Products.
Today on Spilling the Beans, I'm sitting down with Kelly Garrett, my dear friend and local real estate investor here in Charleston. She invests passively in in real estate as an LP (in several thousand doors), she's a general partner in around a thousand doors, and she has a fund that did almost $100 million last year in loans. These are hard money, short term loans to active real estate investors. So Kelli has a perspective on the real estate market from many different angles. In this episode, I'm going to pepper her with questions about all the things that she's seeing in the lending world as an investor, as a borrower, and as a fund manager in today's current economic stance. So I'm excited to sit down with her. I think really a ton of value out of this. Let's go meet up with Kelly. //SAY HI TO KELLI Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelli.garrett.1675 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelli-garrett-86283273/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelli.garrett2/ Rehab Wallet Website: https://www.rehabwallet.com/ //LINKS TO MY OFFERS Legacy Wealth Academy: https://www.lwacademy.com/ Commercial Empire: http://commercialempire.com/ Legacy Family Mastermind: http://legacyfamilymastermind.com/ Click here to download our FREE multifamily deal calculator: http://legacywealthholdings.ac-page.com/calculator-giveaway //FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL IG - https://www.instagram.com/timbratz/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@timbratz Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tlbratz LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbratz/ Website: LegacyWealthHoldings.com //ABOUT ME Tim Bratz is the Founder & CEO of Legacy Wealth Holdings, a leading real estate investment company.

Kelly Garrett implemented subsurface drip irrigation on 370 acres of his Iowa farm in 2015, making the system operational in 2016. As the system enters its eighth year of operation, Damian Mason interviews Kelly about the insights he has gained into soil, fertility, and intensive farm management from using the subsurface drip system. These lessons are applicable to all farmers, regardless of whether they utilize irrigation. Kurt Grimm from NutraDrip also joins the discussion. Presented by AgXplore
The stuff we're doing in production Agriculture is leaps ahead of what we were doing just a decade ago. Products and practices to reduce stress were a primary emphasis of Kelly Garrett in crop year 2022. He joins Matt and Layne Miles to discuss how they lower the stress on their crops. From spoon feeding fertilizer to applications of biologicals derived from seaweed, you're going to love this conversation with Ron Calhoun of Loveland Products. Presented by Loveland Products.
Chemistry is a challenging subject and we don't claim to be chemists here at XA but we do know this: Your soil needs balance between positive and negative charged elements to achieve high yielding crops. Or, as Kelly Garrett says, “There are less depleted soils than there are out-of-balance soils.” Agronomist Mike Evans joins Chad Henderson to talk about soil chemistry. Presented by AgXplore
Kelly Garrett devoted much of his attention in 2022 to reducing stress on his crops. Temple Rhodes learned from what he saw his Iowa friend do and is now taking it to the next level. “I want to build a factory that can withstand a tornado,” Temple says as he describes steps he's taking this season to maximize returns and protect his yield in a year that's predicted to be a rough one, weather wise. Some steps Temple is taking: reducing planted population, changing up plant growth regulators, and holding back late season passes if weather problems reduce the payoff. What is your 2023 farming focus? Listen to this for inspiration! Presented by Loveland Products
Kelly Garrett has stated repeatedly that stress prevention, he believes, is a priority in pursuing higher yields. In 2022 he made stress mitigation his main over-riding objective. Now he tells us what he learned from 2022 and how he's applying that knowledge to crop year 2023. Kelly explains the products, the placement, the practices, and the reasons for why he's doing what he's doing — to prevent crop stress before it occurs. Presented by Loveland Products
Sam Coutu took a trip to Iowa to pick up some supplies for his farm. While hanging with Kelly Garrett, he gleaned some insights and inspiration which he shares in his sit-down with Damian. What's different about American Ag from Canada? Why does Sam like Iowa. Sam shares takeaways from his field trip that you can apply to greater success on your farm. They involve balanced soils, experimenting with planter updates, and being willing to try new things. Presented by AgXplore
Make no mistake, getting fertility to your plants is critical to producing a big yield. But let's look beyond fertility. What additional products at time of planting can give you a huge boost? Kelly Garrett and Kevin Matthews discuss the critical roles of: stress mitigation, plant growth regulators, and seed treatment at time of planting. Presented by Loveland Products
Kelly Garrett's Iowa farm fields are saturated with calcium, whereas Kevin Matthews' North Carolina fields are calcium deficient. Yet, they both apply a quart of calcium per acre. Why? Because calcium is a limiting factor for both farmers. Kevin and Kelly explain the role of calcium as a mover of nutrients and more importantly, talk about what they are doing to get it into the plant. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
Ask 100 consumers to define “sustainable farming” and you'll get 100 different answers. It's time for that to change as Agricultural industry leaders are now poised to do so. Put simply, sustainable farming is a journey that incorporates technology and know-how to produce bigger yields using ever-decreasing amounts of natural resources such as water, fertility, diesel, and time. Matt Miles and Kelly Garrett join Cristian Barcan, VP of Sustainability for Rabo AgriFinance to explain real strides in production Ag's sustainability quest. The best part: Sustainability is not at odds with modern farming, you don't have to be a 100% cover cropper, no-tiller, organic operation, or many of the other hurdles you may have thought prevented you from being “sustainable.” The future looks bright (and profitable) for the new definition of sustainability. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
Kelly Garrett says, “I think we're learning that soil depletion is less of an issue and it's really more about soil imbalance.” Given that, we brought on SoundAg's Director of Agronomy Jeff Divan to discus soil balance, and the often overlooked component of soil biology. Face it, we've been sold on the idea for decades that N,P, & K are the mother's milk of crop production. While the macros certainly matter, we've focused on them so much, we've overlooked other critical elements of soil health. Kelly discusses his soil and sustainability epiphanies while making the case for biologicals that make existing nutrients more crop-available. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
Nutrient reallocation is really fertilizer re-location. Kelly Garrett and Chad Henderson join Nachur's Tommy Roach and Precision Planting's Jason Webster for a panel discussion at 2023 Commodity Classic on where to put your fertilizer to get the biggest bang for your buck.
Kelly Garrett will be teaming up with AgroLiquid to set his crop up for late season success. He acknowledges that the lack of a late season strategy in the past has resulted in significant yield loss. In 2023, AgroLiquid is once again teaming up with XtremeAg for large-scale, on-farm labs to improve products and in-field performance. Five XtremeAg farmers will experiment with different applications, planting practices, and methods using a myriad of AgroLiquid products.
You've been hearing about cover crops for a while but do you plant them on your farm? Do you want to use cover crops but aren't sure how to best benefit from them? Are you the person who says “cover crops just won't work where I farm?” Temple Rhodes and Matt Swanson join Kelly Garrett in a roundtable discussion about effective cover cropping — how and why they do it, what they've learned, species they use, and most importantly — the positive results they're seeing because of effective cover cropping. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems with support from Agricen.
Integrated Ag Solutions' Mike Evans began writing variable rate seeding prescriptions when both he and Kelly Garrett realized they were wasting money on seed. Too much seed was being planted in low performing soils that couldn't possibly produce the yield necessary to justify high seeding rates. Even though Mike and Kelly both knew they needed to back off on seeding rate, they didn't reveal that to Kelly's dad. Why? Because many farmers stick to the “more seed = more yield” philosophy. Only problem: It's not so. Kelly Garrett and XA Affiliate Matt Swanson discuss how they'll reduce input costs by $15 per acre by reducing corn population without reducing their yield. Presented by Loveland Products with support from Agricen.
American farms recorded record net farm income in 2022 — up 14% year over year to $160 billion. What does this mean as you roll into the 2023 season? What adjustments should you be making to remain profitable without being profligate in your spending in the new year? Farmers often look to spend money to expense themselves out of a tax bill but is that a good idea? Will 2023 bring another record and if so, what management decisions should you be making now? Crop inputs and machinery expenses have — in many cases — outpaced the percentage gains in farm income. With that backdrop, as well as plenty of volatility, Kelly Garrett and his farm accountant Ben Hansen offer guidance on farm financials to prosper when the market is up (or down!). Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems with support from Agricen.
In a previous episode, Kelly Garrett and Mike Evans discussed a lesson they learned the hard way (it cost them yield and money!) about the practice of variable rate “N” application. In this sequel, Mike and Kelly explain the soil reaction and final takeaways from their experiment with flat rate nitrogen versus their standard practice of variable-rate application. The results are remarkable. The proof is in the soil (and the yield monitor). And if you need more encouragement to stop applying your fertilizer at a flat rate, you'll get it in this episode! Presented by AgXplore
XtremeAg's Kelly Garrett was at the forefront of profiting off carbon credits. As the carbon marketplace becomes more clearly defined and understood, the opportunity to boost revenue on farms is expanding. According to Truterra's Mariah Murphy, there are more dollars to be deployed through Ecosystem Services than available acres. She explains how the Truterra system carbon payments can be applied to your farm. It's simple, and on average will fetch you $12 per acre for adjusting tillage and cover crop practices. Truterra is also rolling out a nitrogen reduction program that can add more non-crop revenue to your bottom line. The sustainability program starts with a soil health assessment that could improve your farm AND your bottom line! Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems with support from Agricen.
Kelly Garrett is an entrepreneurial farmer from western Iowa. His business interests include farming, trucking, plant food distribution, ag retail, and now: direct to consumer beef. Kelly joins me to discuss the motivation behind creating GLC Beef and the opportunities for increasing profit margins by becoming vertically integrated.

Last year, Kelly Garrett planned to plant more soybean acres than corn. He didn't end up doing that, nor did he dabble more in soybean following soybean acres. Why did he change his cropping mix plans? Economics. Heading into 2023 it's once again economics that are driving his decision to ramp up corn acres at the expense of beans — to the tune of a 65-35% split. Kelly explains the adjustments he'll be making — from increased man power to managing residue and insecticide treatments — to boost output and profits with more corn acres in the rotation. Presented by Agxplore
The smarter we get the more we realize we don't know, or at least, didn't know. So it goes with nutrient stratification in your fields. The traditional (easy) answer has been to throw more fertility at the problem, but as XA's Kelly Garrett says, “I believe we often times have more than adequate fertility, it's just not where it needs to be or readily available.” And that pretty much sums up the stratification problem — your top few inches of soil are ripe with fertility, but the water and uptake roots are deeper where there's a nutrient void. Shaun Guthmiller with Concept Agritek explains how to diagnose and remedy nutrient stratification. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
ABOUT KELLY GARRETTFor as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a farmer. When I graduatedfrom high school I went to Iowa State. I wasn't sure if there would be room for me on the farm. College lasted 3 semesters. I didn't like being indoors tied to a book. So I worked building houses, then for a commercial insulation company until Spring of 1998, I got my chance to farm. Being invited to be part of a community like XtremeAg is an honor for me. I think the other members represent some of the best farmers from around the country, and I am truly humbled to be part of this. XtremeAg to me is real farmers sharing and collaborating their experiences with others in an honest and unbiased environment. 1.

Friday's episode began with a recognition of the Veteran's Day holiday and a hearty "Thank you!" to all who have kept this great country free. Garrett Toay of AgTraderTalk joined the show with an update on the soybean rally heading in to the weekend. In segment 2, Jerry Hagstrom, of the Hagstrom Report, provided more details on the Biden Administration's National Security Memorandum for the ag industry that was released yesterday. And American ag security was also the topic of conversation with Kam Quarles, CEO of the National Potato Council in segment 3. Canadian potato growers are grappling with potato wart, and the US industry wants to keep that scourge out of our boarders. Friday's show ended with Kelly Garrett, Arion, Iowa farmer and partner in XtremeAg.farm, who has been reflecting on his yield data and planning for the year ahead
Twice this season — in spring and during summer — we checked in with Garrett Land & Cattle Agronomist, Mike Evans about residue problems on some of their fields. This time we hear from Mike as well as Kelly Garrett with harvest results. Turns out residue build up in certain parts of the farm cost them yield due mostly to poor emergence and a thin stand. You can't change the weather but you can adjust your practices and your product line up. Mike and Kelly share their takeaways and strategy for residue management in 2023. Presented by AgXplore
Here at XtremeAg we like to point out ideas and products that work so effectively, they become standard practice. Sometimes you need to prove to yourself that your standard operating procedure is still viable. Kelly Garrett and his agronomist Mike Evans did that this year when they varied from their standard practice of applying variable rate nitrogen. The results: A 12 to 15% yield drag. The two explain why they'll never do flat rate “N” applications again and other lessons. Presented by AgXplore
Kelly Garrett had a plan to go heavy on soybean acres in 2022. But that changed in a matter of days when he made the decision to switch 500 acres from beans to corn just a few weeks before the season. This presented a problem since these fields had no fall applied nitrogen on them. Mike Evans turned to a new product from SoundAg that is designed to pull more plant available nitrogen out of the soil.
With the word "unprecedented" being thrown around with reckless abandon we check-in with our Archival Correspondant, Jessica Kelly Garrett, to talk the Presidential Records Act and why the people own information produced by our government. Meanwhile, we chat about two candidates who made a little too much trouble for themselves in the forms of national traitor (the Senate's words, not ours) John Breckinridge and the trying-too-hard-for-attention Jill Ellen Stein!

Kelly Garrett and Mike Evans have identified that one of the biggest yield limiters for soybeans is branch strength. They have spent a lot of time getting enough fertility into the plant in order to grow more pods, but if the branches can't hold the pods, that's a problem. Kelly and Mike talk about the calcium program they are implementing to increase branch strength in their Agroliquid trial this season.
Garrett Land & Cattle is almost completely no-till farming due to sloping fields and Kelly Garrett's adherence to carbon programs. Being no-till presents emergence problems for soybeans following high yield corn with massive amounts of stalk residue. Mike Evans with Integrated Ag Solutions and Garrett's business partner, explains the challenges faced and lessons learned with this year's soybean crop planted into high residue acres. What products to apply, when to apply them, and how to set up your planter — good takeaways here for no-till operations struggling with uneven emergence due to residue.
