Gerard Grubb is determined to find the most profitable nitrogen rates for growing corn on his Mildmay, Ont. farm. Grubb says the farm, which has been no-tilled since 2000, has the potential to yield 250 bushels per acre, but he's not chasing the highest yield; he wants to dial in his nitrogen rates to produce...

On today's episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart podcast, Brad and Dan talk about variable rate application - and zones in particular. What's the overall point to variable rate N application? How might an initial starting N rate be determined? How do farmers' fields and equipment introduce their own variables, and how can these variables be monitored? How should farmers think about - and plot out - field zones? What's the difference between a yield map and a zone map, and should farmers rely on yield maps for zoning purposes? Do the best yielding spots always need the most nitrogen? All of this and much more on today's show.Guests:Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato)Dan Kaiser, Extension nutrient management specialist (St. Paul)Additional resources:With high nitrogen fertilizer prices and low corn prices, can you decrease your nitrogen rate for 2026? www.cornnratecalc.org (Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator)Is variable rate nitrogen based on yield maps a good idea?Variable rate nitrogen: What are we trying to accomplish?Brad Carlson's email address: bcarlson@umn.eduDan Kaiser's email address: dekaiser@umn.edu---For the latest nutrient management information, subscribe to the Nutrient Management Podcast.

Three reactions to the concept of “feeding your plants”: Plants feed themselves through Photosynthesis (you don't need to feed your plants!) They'll pick up elements in the soil that they need for growth and development – nobody feeds the plants in a native forest. What's scientifically needed for our gardens is a soil test that indicates which chemical elements are lacking in soil. This is about the Science of Fertilisers. This is the time of the year when soil temperatures are the best for plant growth. Roots work over time to extract minerals, dissolve them in water, and transport them through the phloem bundles to the leaves of plants, where photosynthesis puts it all together and creates carbohydrates and chemicals that allow cell-elongation (growth). Plants use three main elements for bulk growth “food”: Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium (K), which are generally known as NPK (their chemical symbols). N is used to make green stuff: leaves and Chlorophyll (LAWNS, LETTUCE, SPINACH, HEDGES). P is good for root development and plant health (CARROTS, PARSNIPS, POTATOES, etc). K (potash) is for sex: flowers and fruits (TOMATOES, APPLES, STRAWBERRIES, FLOWERING PLANTS). Other elements needed for a plant to function are needed in much smaller quantities: Mg (Magnesium), S (Sulphur), Ca (Calcium), Cu (Copper), Fe (Iron), Zn (Zinc), Mn (Manganese), and a heap more of those minor “trace elements”. There are a few different types of fertilisers: “General” Fertiliser – for general growth. Usually something like N-P-K 7-3-6 or 12-4-13 (note how Phosphorus is usually less than the N and K). Potato fertiliser: N-P-K 3-9-6 also good for carrots and parsnips. Tomato or rose fertiliser, which is usually higher in potash (K): N-P-K 3-4-9. This helps to stimulate flower and fruit growth. Of course you can always use the general fertiliser (which tends to be highest in Nitrogen) and simply add a few handfuls of Superphosphate (P) if you grow root crops, or handfuls of Sulphate of Potash (K) if you want to up the dose of K (potash) for flowers and fruit. Organic fertilisers usually have lower concentrations of elements, and they are often less prone to fertiliser run-off into water courses. Chicken poo (a “natural” organic fertiliser) has a high content of Nitrogen which can burn plants – I would always send it through a cycle of composting before use. I use General fertiliser on my young tomatoes to get them growing up and create a strong climbing vine before the flower buds are formed. Once they start flowering, I assist the plants with more potash to keep on making fruit – I just switch to a higher potash fertiliser such as Wet&Forget's Seaweed Tea. Seaweed Tea and Seafood Soup were designed to quickly fertilise lawns and large amounts of vegetables. It has this clever system of watering your plants and enriching the soil. I use the contents of Soup and Tea in watering cans – often in a very mild (or “weak”) solution. In the tunnel house I do this almost every day to water the tomatoes; with small amounts of tea or soup I add a little bit of fertiliser with every watering - works brilliantly!

Considering skipping that treated Nitrogen application next year? Stu Hirt and Cody Hornaday join hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Stu is the Territory Business Manager and Cody is the Technical Agronomist for Koch Agronomic Services. Though they're rookies to the podcast, Sal and Jeff have known them for a long time, so they're no strangers to Premier.In addition to hearing how Stu and Cody ended up working for Koch Agronomic Services, you'll learn about the three main forms of nitrogen loss and how Koch Agronomic Services can help protect against that loss.  You'll also learn about volatilization inhibitors,symptoms of nitrogen deficiency, how nutrients are all connected, and why the data shows that more untreated Nitrogen actually drives losses higher instead of protecting a lower amount. Think of Nitrogen as an insurance policy. “If I could get you 12 to 15, sometimes 20 bushel more off of treated Nitrogen versus untreated Nitrogen, I mean, to me that's a no-brainer.”

This month on the Nutrient Management Podcast, we talk about a recent increase in N rate recommendations for corn. Why have these suggested nitrogen rates for corn increased over time? How are regional differences across Minnesota factored into this increase? Why does the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) method of N rate calculation bring economics into the mix? Why should growers focus on profit instead of yield? Won't a higher nitrogen rate make our SE Minnesota water issues worse?

Nitrogen is the most used macronutrient and has long been crucial to abundant crops. New understandings indicate there are ways to reduce nitrogen use while maintaining yield and quality, as well as improving the environment. Our patented new technology  RDX-N® is changing this landscape in an unprecedented way. A small amount of RDX-N, added along with liquid nitrogen applications, replaces up to 50 percent of the nitrogen needed for yield and quality. “The results are going to blow you away,” said Brett Meyer, fifth-generation grower and  founder of Meyer Seeds in Torrington, Wyoming. Meyer produced a strong corn crop with less liquid nitrogen this season, thanks to including RDX-N.Following the positive results, Meyer is comfortable in recommending  RDX-N, which is already  gaining ground among his network or growers. “If it doesn't work on our farm, we don't talk to our customers about it,” Meyer said. “RDX-N is on a lot more acres out here than where we intended, because our tissue samples were coming back so positive that we had faith in it. Everybody that we've had include it is seeing the same results. “

Some of the best athletes in the world employ pre-game rituals out of superstition, habit, or to “get into the zone,” but you don't need to be Michael Jordan or Maria Sharapova to benefit from such a routine. It turns out that those rituals, be it your lucky socks or that one song you just have to put on before heading out, can play an important role in readying your mind and body for what's about to come. Today's episode of the Velo Podcast sees Alvin, Josh, and Levy sharing their own pre-ride habits, with the latter's possibly verging on neuroticism. The crew also digs into Alvin's review of the finally updated Surly Straggler, a steel gravel bike designed for a good time rather than the fastest time, as well as Argon 18's new Nitrogen aero road bike that is most definitely all about fast times. We bid adieu to Rapha and EF Pro Cycling's seven-year apparel partnership and how the two left a mark on cycling fashion in the collaboration.

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Oct 6, 2025 Life's true essence isn't found in possessions but in knowing Christ intimately and becoming like Him. You are already God's child—this discussion is settled. You carry divine DNA, and your journey is allowing these spiritual genes to manifest until it becomes undeniable that you belong to God. You carry an unusual enrichment of the Holy Spirit—Scripture calls this the "earnest" or "first fruits." There's a literal saturation of God's presence concentrated in you. Creation itself groans for your manifestation, and these groanings are captured in the seven feasts of Israel—actual times when the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more tangible in creation. When cosmic signs appear during these appointed times, discern what God is saying. Jesus submitted to this protocol: He died during Passover, rose during First Fruits, and the Spirit came on Pentecost. Develop spiritual intelligence. Numbers in Scripture—Job's seven sons and three daughters, his 7,000 sheep and 3,000 camels, Daniel's twenty-one day fast—reveal angelic operations and wisdom patterns that godly people trapped on earth through their walk with God. Multiple spiritual forces broadcast to you simultaneously, like earth's atmosphere: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Each gas represents different spirits trying to communicate. Nitrogen isn't giving you life—oxygen is. Consecration increases the "oxygen" in your spiritual atmosphere, amplifying God's voice until He becomes the dominant influence. Apply the greenhouse effect: specific atmospheric conditions allow specific seeds to grow. Expose yourself to something's atmosphere through consecration, and that thing's wisdom blossoms in your life. Joshua was told to meditate on God's Word day and night so his way would be prosperous. Increase God's presence in your life and experience prosperity. Understand Kronos versus Kairos. Kronos is ordinary time under wickedness's influence—"the days are evil." But when filled with the Spirit, you break into Kairos—time under God's influence where His purposes manifest. This is redeeming time. Spiritual sight operates differently than natural sight. In the spiritual realm, you see by the light within you. Satan's light makes his deceptions appear normal. Under his light, Peter tried preventing Jesus from the cross. But under God's light, Jesus saw the joy set before Him. Once you can see something spiritually, it becomes tangible—it's just a matter of prolonged engagement. The ten plagues of Egypt weren't God directly killing but His light progressively infiltrating Egypt, revealing the pain demonic powers were already inflicting. Each plague represented increasing measures of God's presence. At the third plague, magicians encountered "the finger of God"—a threshold where they could no longer replicate God's presence. Consecration does this in your life: increases God's presence until darkness's tricks stop working. This same finger that wrote the Ten Commandments now writes on your heart through communion with God. Where the Spirit is Lord—the only one speaking—there is liberty. When you create that atmosphere, plagues break out: the death of this age's gods in your life. Things gripping your soul lose their hold. Strongholds are pulled down. Paul said if you live according to the flesh, you'll discover you're not truly alive. But if through the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Sonship is about God's glory influencing, ruling over, saturating you until your genetic correspondence with God manifests visibly. You're designed to be a true human being: a priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Take advantage of strategic times like the Feast of Tabernacles—times when creation's groaning intensifies and the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more accessible. Consecrate yourself during these seasons through worship, meditation on God's Word, and fasting. Remember: repentance isn't saying "I'm sorry"—it's changing your mind. Transformation isn't trying harder; it's exposure to the right light. In God's light, Satan appears undesirable. In God's light, you see yourself as you truly are in Christ. The closer you draw to God, the more your sonship manifests, the less influence this age has over you, and the more you realize you're born of God, carrying His DNA, destined for glory. This is your inheritance. Walk in it. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

“The Nitrogen Value of Cover Crops” with Dr. Guillermo Marcillo. Cover crops are known for their ability to provide economic and ecosystem services to farmers, including, for example, impacting soil nitrogen. But how much nitrogen, exactly, can cover crops add or remove and how do we find out? In this episode, Guillermo joins me to discuss his work collating research data to get to the bottom of cover crop nitrogen replacement values. Tune in to learn: ·         What a nitrogen replacement value is ·         Why negative nitrogen replacement values are sometimes a positive ·         Which cover crops have, generally, which nitrogen replacement values ·         How nitrogen replacement values can be reverse engineered from existing data If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ael2.70006 This paper is always freely available.

After harvest, many growers will be thinking about fall nitrogen applications. Corteva Agriscience Nitrogen Stabilizers Strategic Account Manager, Ty Stender, says because nitrogen is susceptible to loss through leaching and denitrification, farmers should consider the right N stabilizer to protect nitrogen in the soil over the winter to ensure it's available come spring.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Typical time of the year – we need to get on with Gardening in many different parts of the garden! My tunnel house has to be prepared for spring and summer: the plastic cover is absolutely dirty and covered with algae and grime. That means that the sunlight is reduced, and plants will struggle to get into photosynthesis. I usually grab my Wet-and-Forget Rapid to weaken the winter load of moss, mould, and grime so everything will brighten up and grow some decent crops, plants, and flowers. The next step – equally important! Order the seeds, bulbs, or cuttings you are wanting to plant. Not just in the glass house or tunnel house, but anywhere in the borders, along the paths, in raised beds, or simply in indoor pots, terracotta, or ceramic beauties. Everything will now develop to a great, young plant, ready for trans-location to your garden. Remember, the best growth is between now and Christmas! While you're organising the new plants from your favourite supplier, it pays to consider getting some useful Seed Raising Mix. I reckon that stuff is important to get the seeds growing marvellously. Not just quicker but also providing the right fertilisers to produce strong plants that utilise the N, P, and K for the future months. When the plants are a lot bigger, you can always start playing with the phosphorus (root growth) and Potash (to stimulate flowering and fruiting) and Nitrogen (to get healthy leaves). One of the things I often forget is the hedges: pruning them is generally a pain in the proverbial, but to be honest, the more you prune the hedges, the denser they'll become! We are now already a week or so too late for the first pruning (late August is great!), with a second one in October and the third in December. Every trim creates lots of new buds – hence the density in the long run. And then there is the last opportunity to prune some trees. While some of the “late-comers” are still without leaves, it allows you to prune them efficiently; you can see where all the branches are, so you can shape them the way you want. A decent pruning job will also create new buds lower down the tree – you can then decide how high you want that tree to grow and how dense it will be in your garden. The more you prune, the more “end-buds” you create – and that means that you can shape the tree exactly the way you like it. To be honest: this part of September is ridiculously busy, which means that I have spent far too much time writing all these notes... Gotta get on with it NOW.

Rewilding advocate, financier and host of the popular podcast Rewilding the World, Ben Goldsmith, joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss nature restoration in his home country of England, where a significant cultural change is taking hold toward reviving biodiversity, such as beavers. Once seen as a nuisance there, many farmers and planners now embrace the rebound of the huge rodent, thanks to its impressive ability to mitigate flooding events that the island nation now experiences with regularity, due to climate change. “If you stop a random person on the street now, in the city or in the countryside, they know that beavers are back, that [they] are native species, that they play a vital role in managing our rivers,” he says. However, he argues that while there has been some rewilding momentum in England, it's not happening fast enough, particularly for larger carnivores like wolves. “The idea of reintroducing them is considered madness. Even though there are news reports of swelling populations of deer and growing incidents of Lyme disease and road traffic collisions and a disequilibrium in our forests,” Goldsmith says.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada.Dr. Kononoff begins with some renewable fuels history. Since the renewable fuels standard in 2007, corn production for ethanol has increased to around 50% of the crop going to ethanol production. With the subsequent increase in fuel has come an increase in distillers grains and the industry has learned how to use them to feed cattle better. Later, the government created additional policy for next-stage renewable fuels, which has spurred biodiesel production. Currently, just under 50% of the soybean crop goes to fuel production. Soybean meal availability has increased and costs have decreased over the past few years. Most of the soybean oil is solvent-extracted.   (5:57)Dr. Lock talks about increased acres of high-oleic soybeans in dairy-soybean crossover states. He summarizes some of the work his group has done on feeding high-oleic roasted whole soybeans as a replacement for soybean meal in the diet, citing the benefits of the oil in the diet as well as increased bypass protein. (15:41)The panel discusses whether canola meal, which is fairly high in oleic acid, would show similar benefits to feeding whole roasted soybeans. They also talk about how tariffs may or may not impact canola meal and canola oil prices. (24:26)Over time, the dairy industry has moved away from alfalfa as a protein source and toward soybean meal. The panel discusses the pros and cons of this change. (26:46)Dr. Kononoff gives his perspective on just how much soybean meal can be fed in dairy cow diets. Nitrogen excretion is an important consideration. He reminds the audience that renewable fuels policy is the reason behind many of the feed ingredient changes we've observed in the past 15-20 years, and that policy can change very rapidly. He emphasizes the industry needs to remain nimble and prepared to adapt. The panel also touches on pricing of feed ingredients in different parts of the country and how distillers grains are currently used in dairy diets. (31:08)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Two black holes have collided and combined in the largest merger yet observed. Mark Hannam of Cardiff University and member of the study explains how the Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatories (LIGO) detected this ‘violent' event through spacetime. The lifestyle of ancient humans had an impact on their risk for infectious diseases. Astrid Iversen of the University of Oxford explains how the shift away from being hunter-gatherers played a role in the origins of human pathogens. Nitrogen fixation, or the process of organic compounds accessing nitrogen from the atmosphere via microorganisms, plays a key role in climate modelling. But prior estimations have long been missing key data to make accurate analysis. Carla Reis Ely of Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education shares the updated facts and figures on global nitrogen fixation. How intelligent is artificial intelligence? Can AI start discovering new scientific laws in the year?
