This week's Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast takes us to the heart of innovation in Kansas agriculture. We caught up with Ray Flickner at High Plains Journal Live, where he shared how his fifth-generation farm blends heritage with high-tech. From running three crops in two years to using cover crops for weed suppression and soil health, Ray's flexible and moisture-conscious approach proves that success isn't about rigid rules—it's about adapting with intent.The highlight? A deep dive into the Rain360 system—a mobile irrigation rig that's helping Ray make the most of limited water across irregular fields. It's not just talk; he's cutting water use by 40% compared to local averages. If you're farming in the Southern Plains or just looking for fresh ideas, this episode delivers practical, tested insights you can take straight to the field.Key Takeaways Ray Flickner farms 1,000 acres with a strong focus on irrigation efficiency and strip tilling.He operates with limited livestock in a region where integrating animals is logistically difficult.Ray uses wheat as a functional cover crop to maintain soil health and “living roots.”Cover crop termination timing is critical and must be adapted to seasonal moisture.Rain360 is a mobile, above-ground irrigation system designed for irregular fields and low water flow.The system can deliver both water and nutrients precisely where they're needed.Subsurface drip irrigation has helped Ray reduce water usage by approximately 40%.Strategic use of irrigation timing and moisture sensors boosts efficiency.The farm serves as a demonstration site for innovative irrigation practices.Ray's adaptive management style reflects a balance between innovation and practicality.Timestamps00:03:06 – Introduction to Ray Flickner and his background00:04:25 – Ray's family farm history and crop rotation strategy00:07:04 – Strip tilling advantages and fertilizer placement00:08:32 – Managing three crops in two years with limited moisture00:10:58 – Cover crop strategies and moisture-driven termination decisions00:14:41 – Installing and operating the Rain360 irrigation system00:20:00 – Water efficiency challenges with limited aquifer access00:26:49 – Beta testing setbacks and successes with new irrigation tech00:30:26 – Subsurface drip irrigation's impact on sustainability00:31:47 – Closing thoughts and reflections on farming innovation   RedDirtAgronomy.com

WiFi, Bluetooth, and mobile networks are familiar names in wireless communication - but there's a fourth contender transforming everything from city water systems to African wildlife conservation. LPWAN - or Low Power Wide Area Network technology - is used when you need to send small amounts of data over long distances, using very little power. We head to rural Portugal where it's used for solar and water systems, and from conservation parks in Africa to find out how this low-cost network could become the most influential wireless tech of them all.Produced and presented by Alastair Leithead(Image: An adult female Iberian Lynx named Lava with GPS tracking collar on January 12, 2023 in Toledo, Spain.

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we're joined by Eric Karofsky, an award-winning expert in customer experience (CX), user experience (UX), and employee engagement, and the founder of VectorHX, a human experience agency. Eric shares his professional journey—from decades in agency and consultancy work with major brands like Michelin and Royal Caribbean, to leading UX at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and now building his own company focused on creating seamless customer interactions across digital and physical touchpoints.Eric discusses how AI is rapidly reshaping the customer experience landscape, emphasizing that it's a powerful tool—not a solution on its own. He shares both the promise and the current limitations of AI, particularly in customer support scenarios, likening poorly designed chatbots to frustrating call center loops from the 1980s.A major theme in the episode is understanding customer behavior through cultural, situational, and demographic lenses. Eric cautions against forcing users into preferred communication channels and instead advises companies to map the ideal journey for different personas and optimize each channel for a frictionless experience.He offers a powerful case study from the pharmaceutical industry, where AI is being used to transform labor-intensive literature reviews—cutting timelines from six months to potentially two weeks. This not only boosts business efficiency but also accelerates drug development, delivering life-saving treatments to patients faster.Eric also touches on:AI leadership and how it should drive business strategy by identifying areas for efficiency and innovation.Tools he can't live without, like Claude AI and Notion, which he uses to manage his business and ideas.His excitement about no-code tools like Bolt.new and Lovable, which allow rapid prototyping of full-stack apps without technical skills.The enduring value of classic books like Getting to Yes and The Design of Everyday Things, which shaped his thinking around negotiation and customer-centric design.The importance of motivation and resilience, fueled by the exciting pace of innovation and meaningful human connections with clients and team members.He closes with a favorite quote by Benjamin Franklin:"Tell me and I forget.
