Did you like this episode? Send us a text message and share your thoughts!In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Jim Harbach from Schrack Farms in Clinton County, Pennsylvania dives into all things cropping as we prepare for spring planting season. With a goal of keeping something growing in the soil every day of the year on their 2,500 acres, Jim describes the transformation he has seen in their soil over the last 50 years. He shares how to navigate higher fertilizer costs by focusing on timing and drag lining manure, and the improvements in pH they have found in the soil thanks to their digester. While joking that they started no till and cover cropping “for all the wrong reasons,” Jim gets serious about the impressive differences they've seen in the structure, texture, and organic matter levels within their soil after following these practices. As a dairy farmer, he says the organic matter that the animals return to the soil is a critical part of it.

Spring has (sort of) sprung! Fluctuating temperatures and unseasonably cold and wet weather have created challenges for people making plans for their lawns and gardens.

Fennig Equipment L.L.C. 841 OH-29 Celina, OH 45822 (419) 953-8500 Spring is here, but planting looks a little different depending on where you're at. In this episode of the Talking Shed Podcast, we break down what we're seeing across Ohio and beyond—from fields that are already planted to areas that haven't even started yet. We also rewind to our recent trip to Missouri, where we worked with Dive Bomb Industries on a fertilizer setup and got a behind-the-scenes look at their operation. Back at the shop, it's full speed ahead with service calls, planter setups, applicator builds, and troubleshooting everything from pumps to rate controllers. We also dive into the growing interest in low disturbance fertilizer banding vs strip-till, plus what's coming through the shop next. If you're in the middle of planting season or getting ready to roll, this one will hit close to home.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and with spring planting underway, rural road safety takes on even greater importance. On this episode, we talk with Laramie Sandquist of Nationwide Agribusiness about the risks distracted driving poses and the importance of sharing the road.

Back on the plot with Keith & Freya this week as they get their main crop spuds in, finally get that dang strawberry bed cleared of Couch grass and feed the wild mice to keep the little critters off our crops....There's the new carrot crop and a reminder of how to keep the dreaded carrot fly off the  plants, and tis on what to plant now, to overwinter and feed you in the depths of the dark days. You have to plan ahead now!

In a week that has seen several wildfires break out across the country, we hear from Dr Matthew Jones, who leads a group researching wildfires across the globe. He explains to Charlotte Smith why the risk of wildfires is so high in the Spring months. We also hear from a farmer still dealing with the aftermath of wildfires last year. The impact of the Iran conflict has led to government concerns about a potential shortage of CO2 - an important ingredient in many food and drink production processes. In response, the government has awarded a £100 million pound grant to the Ensus factory at Redcar to re-start production after it was mothballed last year. The plant produces bioethanol, CO2 and animal feed from wheat and maize. However, the National Farmers' Union are concerned that “the £100m investment from government is not conditional on Ensus using British wheat”. Caz Graham speaks to Grant Pearson, the chairman of Ensus.As many farmers are continuing or starting to plant Spring crops for harvest later in the year, we hear from the AHDB about how this year's Spring cereal and oilseed drilling is progressing across the country. We also visit a project in Cumbria doing a different type of planting: using a drone to plant a crop of on wet peatland, known as Paludiculture. With fields of bright yellow oilseed rape coming into bloom across the country, one grower tells us why more farmers have been planting the crop this year compared to last. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Jo Peacey. A BBC Audio Bristol production.

More government funding for security and extra spot checks is the only way to stem the tide of illegal meat being smuggled into the UK. That's according to Dover Port Health Authority who say they intercepted more than 14.2 tonnes of illegal meat in the last week of March. It's not just a health risk to those who might eat it, there's also the danger of highly contagious animal diseases like swine fever and foot and mouth disease entering the country in contaminated meat. With foot and mouth outbreaks in both Greece and Cyprus last month, the threat to livestock here, is making farmers increasingly concerned. Scientists at the Lincoln Institute of Agri-Food Technology are using geothermal energy to grow crops under glass. Unlike ground source heat pumps, which make use of solar energy stored in the ground, geothermal energy takes heat from the earth's core. We speak to the scientists and growers who are testing out new ways of producing strawberries all year round. Spring is in the air, or it certainly should be, and for arable farmers that means sowing the seeds that will grow up into this summer's harvest. We're going to take a look at spring planting all through this week. What kind of impact has the wet winter weather had on spring planting - and what about soaring fuel and fertiliser costs?Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

With nitrogen prices skyrocketing, how can growers manage nitrogen more effectively? Glenn Longabaugh is back in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Glenn is a farmer and the Technical Agronomist at Premier, and he's no stranger to the podcast!Glenn, Sal, and Jeff will discuss how temperature changes impact spring planning and why growers should consider planting by temperature and soil conditions instead of a date on the calendar. You'll also learn about common issues while de-winterizing equipment and best practices for no-till farming. Glenn will share why new data on yield potential has many farmers  choosing to plant soybeans before corn and what the conflict with Iran and resulting issues with the Strait of Hormuz has done to nitrogen prices. If you're like most growers who are concerned about properly managing nitrogen, Glenn's tips regarding the right rate, timing, form, and place make this an episode you are not going to want to miss!

It's been one month since the war in Iran began. And financial concerns are growing for farmers as we inch closer to spring planting season. Dan Glessing is the president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation. He told Minnesota Now host Nina Moini when the war began that he was hopeful the war would be short-lived. Moini checked back in with Glessing to talk about what economic impacts Minnesota's farmers could see as a critical time in agriculture approaches.

Spring planting season is quickly approaching. Along with field work, comes long days and more traffic on the roadways. Angie Johnson, NDSU Extension Farm and Ranch Safety Specialist, offers some words of advice when it comes to staying safe this spring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farmers are facing soaring fertilizer prices and possible shortages just as spring planting gets underway, after the war in Iran disrupted supplies moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Prices are up more than 30 per cent and some retailers are already running out, raising concerns this could hurt crop yields — and eventually food prices — if fertilizer doesn't arrive in time. To break down what this means for Saskatchewan's farming sector, we're joined by Shaun Haney, founder and CEO of RealAgriculture.

Scott Sinner SB&B Foods on Spring Planting

Ed Baumgartner Bass Hybrids Spring Planting

Andrew Mauch NDCGA President on Spring Planting

Farmers and home gardeners alike are preparing for spring, but this year's planting season may come with challenges. From erratic weather caused by climate change to market and industry changes, there's a lot to consider. Our guests this hour explain those challenges and answer your questions about what and when to plant. Our guests: Nell Gardner, agronomist/forensic horticulturist and owner of Flower Fields Elizabeth Henderson, farmer and writer Petra Page-Mann, co-founder, friend, and neighbor of Fruition Seeds

The snow is gone and the days are getting longer and warmer, and while we're not quite ready to plant, the time has come to get everything set for the growing season. In this episode, Don and John talk about the tasks you should be doing right now to get your yard and garden ready for spring planting. They also discuss Easter lillies and a ... man/plant cave?

Why does God involve us in giving? If what we have comes from God, why doesn't God give everyone enough? It seems inefficient for God to give too much to some people so they can give that to others. Why doesn't God just eliminate the middleman? Pastor Luke teaches from 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 in "All Things At All Times," the concluding message in his series, "Spring Planting."

Why do you come to church? Unlike under the Old Testament Law, Christians aren't required to worship in a particular place or offer sacrifices according to a particular schedule. So why come to church? Pastor Luke teaches from 2 Corinthians 9:1-5 in "Intentions and Actualities," part 4 of his 5-part series, "Spring Planting."

With springtime showers comes… Pasture weeds??? Tune in as Reid McGuire and Dr. David Russell discuss ways producers can better manage the forage component of beef production. Listen as they cover previous research done across the state (thanks to the Alabama Beef Checkoff Program!), the most common weeds found in Alabama pastures and how cattlemen can take a proactive, sustainable approach to maintaining high-quality grazing and hay land. 

As spring planting season nears, Wisconsin farmers face rising stress levels. Concerns about finances, unpredictable weather, and labor shortages can weigh heavily on their minds. Fortunately, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection offers resources like the Wisconsin Farmer Wellness Program to provide vital support. "There are so many different elements that can bring stress to a person's life," said Jessica Beauchamp, a licensed clinical social worker with the Farmer Wellness Program. "It's important for farmers to know they don't have to face these challenges alone." The Farmer Wellness Program offers telehealth services, in-person counseling, and confidential support groups for farmers and their families. "We’ve seen an increase in people reaching out for help, which is great because these resources are here for them," Beauchamp explained. According to Beauchamp, sleep issues have become a common concern. "Farmers work all day and stay busy to distract themselves," she said. "But when they lie down at night, their minds start racing because they've ignored their stress all day." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You don't have to look hard to find a church scandal involving money. Some involve criminality but many are done with the blessing of the church leadership. But that's nothing new. Even the Apostle Paul had to contend with people who'd been burned by religious hucksters. What can we learn from Paul? Pastor Luke preaches from 2 Corinthians 8:16-24 in "Security Apparatus," part 3 of his 5-part series, "Spring Planting."

We're officially on the cusp of spring, and farmers in the warmer regions are already in the planter, while those further north are raring to get the 2025 season started. But some snap cold weather in February and some roaring blizzards on March's doorstep have us wondering if winter might stick around a bit longer.Luckily for us, DTN's Ag Meteorologist John Baranick is joining us today, not only to talk through the very latest weather and forecasts, but also to look ahead for the next six to eight weeks to share insight on what might be ahead through the course of this year's planting season. We'll dive deep into precipitation and temperature outlooks in key regions, especially as influenced by the shifting La Nina pattern. We'll take a look at the drought monitor map as we discuss forage outlooks in the west and conditions along the Pacific, and check in on the near term severe weather picture. Then we'll turn our attention abroad, taking a close look at Latin America as the major crop seasons wrap up there, and spending some time on conditions in Eastern Europe that might still prove to throw a wrench in global wheat markets. Then we'll gaze into the long term forecasts for a sneak peak at what we might expect for summer weather.
