Majshøsten står for døren og nogle er allerede i gang. Hvis vi spoler tiden tilbage til foråret, så blev majsen sået virkelig tidligt nogle steder og kan høstes allerede. Dem som kom i gang til ‘normal tid' venter nok lidt endnu. Når vi kigger på markerne ser det ud til at udbytterne bliver middel eller over middel - selvfølgelig med lokale udsving. Vi taler kort om tidlige- og sene sorter og kommer omkring fordele og ulemper, og så har Ken taget nogle gode tips med, som han deler ud af. Vi skal også tale om såning af vintersæd, hvor vi kommer omkring hvede, byg og rug. Jacob har taget et regnestykke med, så du kan sikre dig at indstille såmaskinen korrekt. Og så slutter vi som altid programmet af med en quiz, hvor Jacob har en lille fordel denne gang… Velkommen til Såsædsmagasinet, hvor dine værter Jacob Nymand, Ken Brink og Anders Lau tager fat i emnet "såsæd" og alt hvad der hører til.

KWS udvidet antallet af demomarker, hvor alle afgrøder er repræsenteret. Op mod majshøsten til september vil der være arrangementer, man kan tilmelde sig. Der arbejdes i øvrigt på at lave flere demomarker rundt omkring i landet. Du kan holde dig opdateret på alle arrangementer på KWS's Facebookside. Vi nærmer os en etablering af vinterraps, så vi håber på en periode der ikke er for våd - så vi kan undgå snegle og svampe. Der er godt gang i salget af økologisk raps, så det bliver spændende at se resultaterne, når vi når så langt. I majsen skal du stadigvæk holde øje med vandbalancen, der er nemlig stor forskel på en optimal og ikke-optimal vanding - Det kan faktisk halvere udbyttet. Gå en tur ind i majsmarken for at holde øje med kvaliteten. Vi skal også omkring foderroer og i den forbindelse “stokløbere”, som kan være en udfordring. Og så anbefaler vi at holde øje med “Sortsinfo”, hvor du kan læse alt om udbytterne i de forskellige sorter, når forsøgsmarkerne rundt omkring er høstet. Vi slutter som altid af med en quiz.

Lige for tiden kan du finde Ken og Jacob i markerne rundt om i landet. Ken holder selvfølgelig ekstra-meget øje med majsen, og Jacob holder som altid blikket stift rettet mod rugen. Generelt vil vi anbefale at drikke en gin & tonic nu, og få afholdt noget ferie, for I får meget travlt lige om lidt. Vinterbyg skal nok høstes halvanden uge tidligere end vi plejer og derefter kører det bare derudaf. Der kan muligvis opstå nogle små pauser i løbet af høsten, fordi nogle afgrøder er hurtigere end andre. I nogle marker bør der i øvrigt være sået efterafgrøder i majsen nu, andre steder er det nok i gang. Brug en del af gyllen, når majsen begynder at strække sig, hvis det teknisk kan lade sig gøre.

Hveden har mærket tørken, særligt på Sjælland, øerne og i Østjylland - og på den lette jord, har vi set tørkestres i hveden. SEGES biomasse-indeks ser til gengæld rigtig fornuftigt ud på nuværende tidspunkt, og det skyldes jo en god etablering i efteråret og en mild vinter. Dog skal det nævnes, at den regn, der er kommet i slutningen af maj gør, at vi skal være opmærksomme på svampe. Måske skal vi over marken en ekstra gang. Vinterbyggen er i gang med kerneindlejring, og hvis det har været tørt i en længere periode, kan det standse udviklingen i nogle af kernerne, så det skal man også være opmærksom på. Hybridrugen står godt - men den har haft behov for vanding. Den er virkelig langt i vækstperioden, så hvis tendensen fortsætter vil høsten falde tidligt i år. Vårbyggen er kommet hurtigt i gang, men her er der også risiko for svampeangreb.

Vi er midt i en spændende sæson og maskinerne drøner rundt på marker og veje. April har været fantastisk for planteavlen i Danmark, for den gode blanding af tørt og vådt vejr har været god ved afgrøderne. Det første emne vi tager fat i denne gang er “svampesprøjtninger i vintersæd”. Der er særligt tre typer, du skal være opmærksom på, når det handler om hybridrug. Den der trykker mest lige nu er brunrust, så Jacob giver gode råd til, hvordan du opdager brunrust og hvordan det kan behandles. Vi kommer også omkring hvede. I grovfoderafgrøderne har vi meget fokus på majs. De første majs blev sået i starten af April og de ser ret fine ud, men ifølge Ken er det nok lidt i den tidlige ende. Hvis du derimod ikke er startet endnu, så er anbefalingen at komme i gang. I bund og grundt er det værre at komme for sent i gang end for tidligt. Vi slutter af med at tale om nogle af Ken og Jacobs favoritsorter, både i forhold til majs, raps og hybridrug. Og så er der noget med en quiz, som vi lige skal runde af med..

Vi starter programmet med ‘bordet rundt', hvor vi taler om, hvad der er sket siden sidst. Det tørre forår fortsætter, men det er på ingen måder kritisk endnu, og det ser ud som om der er blevet ‘kælet for jorden', som Arne Gejl ville sige.. Tilbagemeldingerne fra landmændene er at humøret er godt og stressen er udeblevet, for der har været god tid til forårsarbejde på grund af vejret. Det skal handle om etablering af roer og majs i dag, og vi diskuterer alt fra de geografiske forskelle i vores lille land, til såbed og fremspiring, jordtemperatur osv. Vi ringer til Annemette Hansen, produktchef for sukkerroer i KWS, som holder til på Lolland til daglig. Hun fortæller at knap 90% af roerne er sået på Lolland, og det er gået rigtig godt med etableringen, dog håber hun på lidt varmere temperaturer i den kommende tid. Vi følger også ganske kort op på vintersæden, hvor der er godt gang i rodvæksten på nuværende tidspunk, og det er ved at være tid til at køre den sidste gylle..

Pelle Riber kalder sig selv en “ukuelig optimist”, for uanset, hvad der sker, så skal det nok komme til at lykkedes. Pelle er født og opvokset på en gård ved Nordenskov, og han har altid været vild med at bo på landet. Forældrene solgte desværre gården i Nordenskov, da Pelle var meget ung, men han har passet køer på nabogården siden han var 10 år. I dag driver han godt 100 hektar på en mindre hobby-planteavlsejendom ved Øse sammen med familien - sideløbende med sin forretning “Ribers Maskinimport”, som hans far startede for 25 år siden, hvor han både importerer og producerer landbrugsmaskiner. På markerne har ejendommen historisk været hårdt ramt af ukrudt, og det skal vi høre en masse om i dag! Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning.

Nu er foråret for alvor i gang - faktisk det tørreste i 11 år - og det betyder, at vi skal til at opdatere direkte ude fra markerne. Heldigvis har vi et par gode kort på hånden, for vi har nemlig allieret os med et par planteavlere ude i landet. Vi ringer først til Christian Jørgensen fra Agerbæk, der går og venter på at kartoflerne skal hives ud af kølehuset, så de snart kan komme i jorden. Vi hører lidt om processen fra kølehus til kartoffelrækker. Christian har også haft en våd fornøjelse i forbindelse med dræning, som vi også lige ‘dykker' ned i… Derefter ringer vi til Søren Frederiksen fra Lemvig, som lige har købt en ny Deutz, og derfor har travlt med at samle point hos konen. Siden uge 7 har det stort set været tørvejr i det nordjyske, så både gyllenedfælderen og sprøjten har været i gang. Generelt har sæsonen været tidligt i gang i år, så den største udfordring er faktisk at holde hænderne i lommen, så praktikken og logistikken ikke bliver presset senere på sæsonen. Vi tager selvfølgelig også ‘temperaturen' for sæsonen indtil nu hos begge landmænd, og det gør, som vi plejer, med en karakter på en skala fra 0-100. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS og Yara.

Beim GöBit 2025 ist auch der Saatguthersteller KWS aus Einbeck vertreten. Lasse Dreyer hat mit Mika Kirleis von KWS über die vielfältigen Ausbildungsmöglichkeiten in dem Betrieb gesprochen.

Vi følger op på lidt omkring hvad der er sket den sidste uges tid. Derudover har vi Anders Harck med i studiet, som er med i LF, og har ansvar for økonomi og virksomhedsledelse. Anders er også mælkeproducent i Tjæreborgsområdet, og har i dag omkring 3 hektar jord, og 4 ansatte. Vi starter ud med at høre lidt omkring Anders's bedrift,, og kommer ind på de værdier han gerne vil slå et slag for indenfor landbruget. Lyt med når der tales om generationsskifte og ejerskifte, og så kommer det selvfølgelig også til at handle om treparten, som er det varmeste emne i landbruget for tiden. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS og Yara.

Så blev det endelig forår! Jacob har brugt tiden siden sidst på at være ude i marken. Han har blandt andet været forbi et værdiafprøvningsforsøg, som KWS er en del af, hvor samtlige afprøvede sorter er kommet godt fra land. Ken har holdt øje med roerne - og planlagt majsforsøg, så han har i dén grad også haft en finger i jorden i den forgangne måned. I dag skal det handle om etableringen af vintersæd. Vi har ‘heldigvis' ikke set så mange gyllevogne endnu - og vi anbefaler heller ikke overgødske på nuværende tidspunkt. Den første afgrøde, du bør holde øje med i dén forbindelse er vinterhybridrug. Vi tager en generel snak om, hvornår planterne har behov for- og kan udnytte den organiske husdyrgødning. Vi kigger derefter lidt frem på marts måned, for hvad kommer der til at ske indenfor såsæd..? Rådet herfra er at man ikke har for travlt, men fokuserer på det gode håndværk. Vi slutter programmet af med et lytterspørgsmål og selvfølgelig en quiz! Velkommen til Såsædsmagasinet, hvor dine værter Jacob Nymand, Ken Brink og Anders Lau tager fat i emnet "såsæd" og alt hvad der hører til. Såsædsmagasinet udkommer den første fredag hver måned og præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS. Rigtig god fornøjelse!

Today we welcome Tom Turner onto the R2Kast! From using TikTok as a tool to gain clients in a previous role to now working with KWS, Tom's journey is one full of adaptability and strategic moves!

I denne uge har vi inviteret Katrine Falster-Hansen der arbejder som udtagningskonsulent. Hun er egentlig ansat ved SEGES Innovation, med sidder ved SAGRO til daglig. Hendes opgaver er at hjælpe landmanden med rådgivning om minivådområder, vådområder og skovrejsning. Hendes job finansieres af Promilleafgiftsfonden, så landmanden skal ikke betale for rådgivningen. Vi bliver meget klogere på hele processen i forbindelse med udtagning og tager fat i et konkret eksempel. På landmand.dk kan du se, om du har jord, der er oplagt at kigge nærmere på. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning.

If nothing happens on Swans Crossing does anyone even notice unless you make someone watch it who has never seen an episode before?

I had a chance to talk with Kenny Wayne Shepherd about his upcoming 2025 Tour with Experience Hendrix, a fresh album with blues legend Bobby Rush, and the 30th anniversary of his breakout record, Ledbetter Heights. Oh, and let’s not forget his obsession with muscle cars. The Experience Hendrix Tour: A Shredder’s Dream KWS is heading back to Detroit on March 22nd for the Experience Hendrix show at the legendary Fox Theatre. If you’ve never been to one of these gigs, imagine the ultimate guitar jam session with an all-star lineup paying tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Kenny is stoked to be part of it once again. “The Fox Theatres are some of the most beautiful venues in the country, and the Detroit one is probably the pinnacle,” Kenny said. “It’s crazy to think a lot of them were originally movie theaters.” He also talked about the wild mix of players sharing the stage, from shredders like Zakk Wylde to the precision of Eric Johnson. “Eric Johnson literally plays a backwards Hendrix solo note for note,” Kenny said. “That’s next-level dedication.” Kenny Wayne Shepherd Family, Touring, and Finding Balance Kenny isn’t just juggling a tour—he’s also balancing life at home with six kids. “When we first had kids, I tried to be home as much as possible, just doing weekend shows. But eventually, I had to hit the road again,” he explained. “Now, we’ve got a system. Four to five weeks on tour is the max before I need to come back and reconnect.” And when he’s home? It’s all about family, muscle cars, and stepping away from the music business for a bit. 30 Years of Ledbetter Heights and a New Record with Bobby Rush This year marks three decades since Ledbetter Heights put KWS on the map. To celebrate, he’s re-recorded the album, but don’t expect an exact replica. “With Trouble Is…, we recreated it almost exactly. But for Ledbetter Heights, some of the original musicians have passed away, so we took some creative liberties,” Kenny said. “It’s going to be a fresh experience for fans.” He’s also dropping Young Fashioned Ways on March 21st, a pure blues record with 92-year-old Bobby Rush. “We had to wait until our schedules aligned, but now we can finally tour together,” Kenny said. “This album is special—it’s stripped-down blues mixed with full-band electric, and it’s raw.” Muscle Cars, Roadkill Nights, and the Dream Cruise If you know Kenny, you know his love for muscle cars is right up there with blues guitar. He’s got about 16 cars in his collection, though he admits he’s no Jay Leno. “Jay’s got two airplane hangars full of cars—it’s like a museum,” Kenny laughed. “I’m living my version of the dream, but that guy’s on another level.” And speaking of car events, he’s working on making it to Dodge’s Roadkill Nights this summer in Detroit. “I’ve never made it out to the Dream Cruise or Roadkill Nights, but I’ve been talking to the Dodge guys,” Kenny said. “Fingers crossed I can make it happen.” Talking Marriage Advice and Meeting Mel Gibson Kenny also shared some personal moments, including advice from his father-in-law—yes, that Mel Gibson—before marrying his wife, Hannah. “He told me, ‘Try not to go to bed angry,’” Kenny said. “It’s great advice, and we try to follow it as much as we can.” As for meeting Mel for the first time? “I grew up around famous people because of my dad’s radio background, so I wasn’t intimidated,” Kenny explained. “But yeah, some people would probably find it overwhelming.” Final Thoughts From Kenny Wayne Shepherd From killer guitar work to burning rubber on the streets, Kenny Wayne Shepherd has a packed year ahead. Between the Experience Hendrix tour, the Ledbetter Heights re-recording, and his new blues project with Bobby Rush, there’s a lot to look forward to. And who knows? Maybe we’ll see him tearing it up at Roadkill Nights this summer.

Karl Peter Lyhr er oprindeligt fra Vestfyn og han har altid været interesseret i naturen, skov og jagt. Karl Peter har læst en forskerkandidat på Landbohøjskolen, og har bl.a. arbejdet i skovdyrkerforeningen, men har været selvstændig ejendomsmægler i de sidste 20 år. Nu er tiden kommet til at prøve noget nyt, så til marts starter han på jordfordelingskontoret under “Ministeriet for Grøn Trepart” - og det skal vi høre om i dag. En del af jobbet bliver at indkøbe alle de arealer, der skal tages ud af produktion og bruges til skov. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS og Yara.

Denne gang har vi besøg af Søren Frederiksen fra det nordvestjyske. Søren er gift med Henriette og sammen har de to børn. De har overtaget Sørens fødegård i april 2023, og driver 190 hektar planteavl, hvor ca. 47 hektar er kartofler. Landbruget er ikke helt stort nok til en fuldtidsstilling, så Søren arbejder også som “pedel” ved en griseproducent. Han har prøvet arbejdslivet af i andre brancher end landbruget, men han er altid vendt tilbage, så vi skal selvfølgelig høre, hvad der gør landbruget så fedt!

Finns forårshumør er spirrende. Telefonen er begyndt at ringe på kontoret, for vækstsæsonen nærmer sig. Vi lægger ugen ud med at stikke fingeren i jorden og give en opdatering på markerne lige nu. Kort sagt er vintersæden godt etableret og vi ser bl.a. pæne rapsmarker uden for meget ukrudt. Derefter ringer vi til Australien, hvor vi har aftalt med Niels Nielsen, at han vil fortælle lidt om, hvorfor han er endt der og hvad han laver til hverdag. Niels ville egentlig have rejst til USA, men flere ting gjorde at det blev Australien. Han arbejder på en familieejet ejendom med 26.000 hektar planteavl, som er opdelt i ca. 60% hvede 40% raps. Der er i øvrigt ca. 400 km imellem det sydligste og nordligste site.

Det er blevet tid til den første episode af Såsædsmagasinet og vi lægger ud med at præsentere værterne. Jacob Nymand er uddannet agronom i 1987 og har arbejdet hos KWS de sidste 11 år og arbejder primært med hybridrug. Ken Brink er uddannet landmand og har indtil i dag været i KWS i 12 år. Nogle kender ham måske som “Mr. Majs”… Vi skal også tale om, hvad KWS er for en virksomhed og hvilke kompetencer de har i huset. I den forbindelse dykker vi også ned i KWS' nye strategi, som har ændret den måde de forhandler produkterne på. Vi lukker programmet ned med en Quiz, som du kan glæde dig til at følge med i hele året! Velkommen til Såsædsmagasinet, hvor dine værter Jacob Nymand, Ken Brink og Anders Lau tager fat i emnet "såsæd" og alt hvad der hører til. Såsædsmagasinet udkommer den første fredag hver måned og præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS. Rigtig god fornøjelse!

Denne gang dykker vi for alvor ned i emnet “hybridrug” eller rettere sagt “fleks-hybridrug”. Fleks-hybridrug er en sprit ny vare på hylderne hos KWS, der gør det muligt at vente med såning til sidst på efteråret - eller endda rykke såtidspunktet til det tidlige forår. Vi kommer både omkring det forædlingstekniske, og så diskuterer vi nogle af de muligheder, det kan give landmanden ude på marken. Jacob fortæller også om en helt ny rugsort, som KWS arbejder på i øjeblikket, der er kortere end den ‘almindelige' vinterrug. Vi håber den lander på markedet til efteråret. Og så slutter vi som altid af med en lille quiz… Velkommen til Såsædsmagasinet, hvor dine værter Jacob Nymand, Ken Brink og Anders Lau tager fat i emnet "såsæd" og alt hvad der hører til.

I denne omgang har Anders og Finn taget Jens Bach Andersen fra Yara med i studiet, som dem der lytter med til Gødningsmagasinet kender. Der skal nørdes i magnesium i dag, som er afgørende for at planter danner klorofyl og dermed fotosyntese. Der kan være udfordringer i forhold til konkurrerende positive ioner og bindingen i jorden. Når pH'en i jorden bliver lav, så bliver det også sværere for magnesium at binde sig, idet at konkurrencen stiger med andre mineraler, som har bedre vilkår for binding i en sur jord. Lyt med og bliv klogere på hvordan du kan imødekomme både for meget- og for lidt magnesium i din markjord via jordprøver, og reguleringer i din gødningsplan. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med KWS og Yara.

Finn har været en tur i Sydafrika, og det starter han ud med at berette lidt om. Derefter dykker vi ned i dagens store emne som er den grønne trepartsaftale, og de tiltag som skal laves. Til det har vi inviteret Vardes borgmester, Mads Sørensen, med en tur i studiet. Dem som ikke kender Mads, bliver ikke snydt for at høre lidt om hans historie og baggrund, inden vi går helt ned i materien. VI kommer ikke udenom at forholde os en smule til Trumps afvisning af den grønne omstilling, i forbindelse med sin indtræden som præsident, der skete dagen før optagelserne til denne episode fandt sted. Lyt med når der med udgangspunkt i Varde kommune, bliver talt om lavbundsjord, udpegninger at projekter, plantning af skov og meget mere, som kommunerne skal forholde sig til i 2025! Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning.

We are back with our good friend Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Since the last time we interviewed Kenny, he has released a follow up album to "Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol 1" iornically titled, "Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol 2".  In addition to the new album, we talk about Kenny's experience actually playing Jimi Hendrix's "Woodstock" guitar and his upcoming tour, plus 2 new albums set to release in 2025.  Kenny is a five-time-Grammy-nominated guitarist. The new album was recorded  at the Legendary Fame Stuios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. This project chronicles Shepherd's journey of musical evolution, touching on stories of loss, redemption, and memorable melodies. All crafted by an elite team of songwriters. Born in Louisiana, in 1977, Shepherd's own life has never followed the script. Steeped in classic blues and rock 'n' roll from an early age by his dad - a respected Lousiana radio personality and promoter - Kenny soon reached for his first Fender stratocaster and found he didn't require lessons to make it cry and wail. Long before Warner Brothers subsidairy Giant Records offered a deal, Shepherd had toured in clubs which he was too young to drink in.    Please also check out our precious KWS interview released: October 7, 2023.

The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is set to release "Dirt On My Diamonds, Volume 2" on September 20th. KWS joins to talk the new record, touring with Van Halen, relationship with Slash, and more! More info: www.kennywayneshepherd.net Our website: www.afdpod.com
