As you start to pivot from 2024 harvest to 2025 planting, it's time to start thinking about soil fertility. During this episode of the Pioneer Agronomy podcast, to soil test or not to soil test in drought conditions?"I wouldn't delay it. There's the option, but if you're usually sampling after Harvest, do it then. Understand that those results might be skewed a little bit. You could make an argument to wait for more moisture in the ground. But if it's my ground and I have the time to get across the field, I'm going to do it in that weather window. I'm in favor of getting it done," says Pioneer Agronomist Ben Jacob.It's harder to take soil samples when the ground is dry, and some of the numbers could be skewed slightly due to the lack of moisture. If you're going to sample now, podcast host and agronomist Brian Shrader reminds us that soil samples need to be taken at the same depth, even if it's hard to drive the probe to full depth.Find more resources on nutrient management in the soil from Pioneer here: https://www.pioneer.com/us/agronomy-science/topic.nutrientManagement.html

William Burchill, Lecturer in Soil Science in UCC, joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge podcast to discuss lower than normal growth rates in 2024 and advice on what to do over the next number of weeks to maximise growth. William first outlines the factors that drive mineralisation with oxygen, wet and dry cycles and soil temperature all contributing to this process. He discusses the importance of soil fertility in mineralisation and how pH is the gatekeeper for soil biology, which may have a role in alleviating some of the compaction that may have occurred early in the year but it is also the gatekeeper for mineralisation too, so the importance of lime can't be stated enough with respect to grass swards but even more so with grass clover. William finishes by explaining the rates of nitrogen for the autumn and the timing of them as well as discussing the role of organic nutrients such as slurry which has to be used by the end of September and soiled water in keeping adequate nitrogen available to deliver growth in the latter part of the autumn. For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

Nitrogen fertilizers are widely used in crop production around the world, but how does soil react to this treatment? Expert soil scientist Richard L. Mulvaney joins the podcast today to discuss his research looking into this question, and others like it… As a Professor of Soil Fertility at the University of Illinois, Richard is deeply involved in Illinois's agricultural field. With three degrees in soil science, he has focused his investigations on the fate and behavior of soil and fertilizer nitrogen – specifically seeking to increase profits while also reducing the negative environmental impacts of excessive nitrogen inputs. In this episode, we explore: What makes nitrogen useful for crop growth and plant nutrition. The most common nitrogen fertilizer, and which crops it benefits most. Why over-fertilization is detrimental to soil health. Where corn crops derive the majority of their nitrogen from. Do the benefits of nitrogen fertilizer outweigh the negative effects on soil health?

David Montgomery and Anne Biklé delve into the intricate relationship between soil health, plant health, and ruminant well-being. Their exploration underscores the importance of diverse pastures in the diets of ruminants, impacting the nutritional quality of meats consumed by humans. By focusing on the rumen's metabolic terrain and its interaction with the microbiome, they highlight the role of phytochemicals in animal health. Conclusively, a healthier soil produces more nutrient-rich plants, leading to healthier animals and ultimately benefiting human nutrition. #SoilHealth #RuminantNutrition #SustainableFarming
