A herbicide pass that misses is not a “learning moment” in cotton, it is a bill you pay all season. With drought across the Cotton Belt and budgets under pressure, we sit down with weed scientists Dr. Charlie Cahoon (NC State), Dr. Sarah Gansky (Kansas State), and Dr. Larry Steckel (University of Tennessee) to get brutally practical about optimizing cotton weed control without gambling on luck.We dig into what they told growers to protect even when commodity prices are low: keeping residual herbicides in the program, getting activation when rainfall is scarce, and staying ahead of Palmer amaranth and tough grasses. Then we move into the mechanics that decide whether products like glufosinate (Liberty) deliver: nozzle selection, droplet size, sprayer speed, pressure, and spray volume. We also talk through the real tradeoffs between 15 and 20 gallons per acre, because water hauling, refill time, and label restrictions can matter as much as the chemistry.Next comes timing and tank mixing. “Bankers' hours” can be the difference between great Liberty performance and a costly redo, but other herbicides respond differently to sunlight and conditions. We unpack tank mix antagonism and why pairing auxins like dicamba or 2,4-D with grass herbicides can quietly cut control, plus what resistance is forcing in places where Palmer amaranth, ryegrass, and glyphosate-resistant grasses are rewriting the rules. We close with forward-looking tactics like lay-by residuals and ryegrass planning before the next season starts.Subscribe for more cotton agronomy, share this with a neighbor who is about to spray, and leave a review with the one application detail you think most people overlook.

In this What's Working in Ag segment the Farm4Profit crew sits down with Corteva technical and fungicide specialists to discuss one of the biggest topics facing growers today: protecting yield in a tight-margin environment. The conversation focuses on how weed control, insects, and disease pressure all work together — and why cutting corners on crop protection can end up costing farmers far more in lost yield potential. Corteva experts Eric and Madison explain why starting clean with effective herbicide programs remains critical, especially as growers continue adapting to early soybean planting and evolving resistance challenges. The episode dives into: Why weed escapes create environments for insects and disease pressure How weeds compete for nutrients and rob yield potential Southern rust's major impact during the 2025 season Why fungicides continue to deliver ROI despite tighter farm margins Tar spot, gray leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight, and other disease concerns The importance of multiple herbicide modes of action How dry conditions impact herbicide performance Why pre-emerge programs still matter Fungicide timing strategies for 2026 Corteva's new fungicide timing solution launched at Commodity Classic The role AI and predictive analytics may play in disease management Pairing fungicides and insecticides for maximum field efficiency Why scouting remains one of the most important management tools The discussion also highlights Corteva's newest fungicide, Forcivo™, and how modern fungicide technology is being combined with predictive tools and Pioneer genetics to help growers better manage disease pressure and protect bushels. If you're making crop protection decisions for the 2026 season, this episode delivers practical insight on how to think through herbicides, fungicides, insects, and profitability in a challenging farm economy.

Like many growers BBRO are preparing for changes in the world of weed control in sugar beet - what can you expect?

On this episode of the Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast, Shaye interviews Corteva forage specialist, Sam Ingram, about prioritizing pastures and hay land to maximize forage production and improve cattle margins by lowering feed costs through grazing. Ingram explains how fertility, weed control, and grazing rest increase tonnage, forage quality, and carrying capacity, emphasizing soil testing and sticking to a consistent testing time to guide nutrient plans.   He discusses the value of legumes like white clover and annual lespedeza for quality and nitrogen fixation and introduces Corteva's NovaGraz, a non-residual broadleaf herbicide that controls weeds such as biennial thistles, ironweed, buttercup, plantains, wild carrot family species, poison hemlock, and parsnip while maintaining key legumes, offering flexibility for hay sales and crop rotation. He also describes UltiGraz, which combines herbicide and fertilizer in one pass for efficiency. The conversation addresses drought and wildfire impacts, stressing post-disaster planning, avoiding grazing too soon, and using sacrifice areas and stored feed to protect forage cover.

In agriculture, sometimes the best advice comes from the conversations farmers have at the coffee shop. That's exactly the spirit behind the What's Working in Ag segment — learning what is actually working in the field right now. In this episode, David Whitaker sits down with Jeff Moon of Corteva Agriscience, a Minnesota Market Development Specialist who has spent his entire career in agriculture. Together they break down one of the biggest challenges growers face every season: weed pressure and how to stay ahead of it. Jeff explains why weed management decisions today impact much more than the current crop. A single waterhemp plant can produce up to 500,000 seeds, and those seeds can remain viable in the soil for years — creating long-term weed pressure if problems aren't addressed early. The conversation covers several practical insights farmers should consider when building their weed control programs: • Why weeds reduce yield by competing for sunlight, moisture, and nutrients • How insect pressure can increase when weed patches are ignored • The importance of using multiple modes of action to prevent resistance • Why relying on the same chemistry year after year can create bigger problems • The value of scouting fields instead of only checking the field entrance • Why spraying weeds when they're 2–4 inches tall dramatically improves success Jeff also discusses how modern herbicide programs often combine multiple tools — including residual control and post-emerge options — to deliver more consistent results across different farming systems. Because every farm operates differently, the best weed control strategy depends on factors like tillage practices, cropping systems, and environmental conditions. The key takeaway: weed management is not a one-pass decision — it's a season-long strategy. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

High cattle prices can make it tempting to push pasture ground harder than ever, but what happens when the grass gives out before the market does?  In this episode, Dave Deken, Dr. Brian Arnall, and Dr. Josh Lofton visit with OSU Extension Forage Specialist Brian Pugh about pasture recovery, grazing pressure, and the management decisions producers need to make now to protect long-term forage production.  They break down the difference between native and introduced systems, why rest matters, and how too many cows with too few inputs can quietly drive a pasture into decline. Their conversation also digs into what recovery really looks like. Introduced forages like bermudagrass can rebound quickly with rest, nutrients, and weed control, while native range may take much longer and demands more careful timing.  Along the way, the group discusses soil testing, stocking rates, drought carryover, old world bluestem in western Oklahoma, TEFF as an annual option, and why more producers should start thinking about pasture management the same way they think about crop management. Top 10 takeaways Pasture recovery starts with management, not luck. Rest, fertility, and weed control are the backbone of rebuilding forage systems. Many producers are still stocked for a cheap-input era that no longer exists. High cattle numbers with reduced inputs is a recipe for forage decline. Native grasses need a different rest schedule than introduced forages. Pugh recommends resting native grasses after July 10, while bermudagrass benefits from a few weeks of rest before frost. Introduced forages can rebound surprisingly fast. Damaged bermudagrass can recover in a single season when pressure is reduced and nutrients and weed control are addressed. Native range recovery is slower and requires more patience. Native plants may remain alive below ground even when above-ground growth looks poor. Pasture should be managed more like a crop. Soil tests, nutrient plans, and intentional competition control are just as important in forage systems as they are in row crops. Economics drive bad grazing decisions as much as biology does. Strong cattle markets can encourage overstocking, especially when crop returns are weak. Emotions make herd reduction hard. Cow-calf operations are not easy to scale down quickly because of years of investment in genetics and herd building. Regional forage fit matters. Bermudagrass may work well in some areas, while old world bluestem, native mixes, or carefully managed annuals make more sense farther west. Recovery costs money. Producers often wait until the financial picture worsens before rebuilding pasture, but the inputs needed for recovery do not disappear. Detailed Timestamped Rundown 00:03–01:02 Dave opens the episode and frames the main topic: forage systems, pasture recovery, cattle prices, input costs, and long-term pasture health. He previews discussion on worn-out pastures, resting native grasses, introduced forage recovery, and regional differences across Oklahoma.01:02–01:40 Dave points listeners to the Red Dirt Agronomy website, then introduces the usual crew: Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton.01:40–02:45 The recorded interview begins from the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference in Stillwater on February 13, 2026. Brian Pugh is introduced as OSU's state forage extension specialist.02:45–04:20 The group recaps the conference session. Early expectations were that producers would mostly ask weed questions, especially around bermudagrass, but the bigger theme became forage system management under current economics.04:20–05:09 Brian Pugh explains that many producers are still managing herds and forage stands like inputs are cheap, even though fertilizer and other costs are far higher now. His point: too many mouths to feed and too few inputs is putting pressure on forage systems.05:09–06:32 Brian Arnall says one forgotten practice is pasture rest, especially in native systems. He argues many producers are grazing too late into the season, especially at the very time native grasses need to recover and recharge below ground reserves.06:13–06:32 Pugh gives a practical native pasture benchmark: after July 10 is when they recommend rest for natives. For bermudagrass, he says a three- to four-week rest before frost, often in October, helps stand health.06:32–08:15 The team discusses how drought, rising fertilizer prices, and the need for forage have led to widespread decline in native pasture condition. Pugh gives an example of carrying too many cows on a declining native system and slowly slipping from one cow per 10 acres to one cow per 8, then worse, as undesirable plants take over.08:15–10:15 Josh asks why producers quit using rest as part of management. The group suggests cattle numbers, tighter economics, incomplete management information, and the lingering influence of older production mindsets all played a role. They also note cheap fertilizer in the 1980s and 1990s made it easier to support intensive systems.10:15–12:44 Dave asks whether producers should treat pasture more like a crop. Pugh strongly agrees, saying forage management is becoming the next frontier in agronomy. The group discusses soil testing, nutrient application, and improving forage efficiency the same way row-crop producers manage corn or wheat.12:44–15:51 The conversation shifts to how strong cattle prices may be carrying operations while crop prices are weak. Pugh warns that profitable cattle markets can encourage producers to run more cows than their forage system can sustainably support, especially when feed and hay are still affordable.15:51–17:10 Arnall highlights the emotional side of herd decisions. Producers may know they should cut numbers during drought or market shifts, but cow-calf herds are tied to years of genetic selection and personal investment, making those decisions difficult.17:10–20:20 The group answers a question about lime, pH, and native systems. Arnall says old bermudagrass stands often persist at lower pH because they've adapted over time, while native stands are more likely to shift species composition as soil conditions change. Pugh notes eastern Oklahoma comparisons can be tricky because much of that land has a long cropping history.20:20–22:24 Dave asks the big practical question: how long does it take to build back pasture? Pugh says introduced forages can recover extremely quickly if they get three things: reduced use, nutrients, and competition control. He shares trial results showing severely damaged bermudagrass reached full ground cover in about 75 days and more than a ton of production per acre in about 120 days.|22:24–23:05 Native systems are different. Pugh says native plants may take much longer, and in patch-burn systems, some plants may not show much above-ground growth the following year even though they remain alive and capable of long-term recovery.23:05–25:33 The discussion turns westward across Oklahoma. Pugh says bermudagrass starts to give way to old world bluestem farther west, calling it the “bermuda of western Oklahoma.” He also discusses lovegrass and notes that intensive management can maintain acceptable quality in some stands.25:33–27:28 Josh asks about orchardgrass and TEFF. Pugh says orchardgrass may have more potential than people once thought, especially if persistence issues are tied to disease or humidity rather than drought alone. He describes TEFF as a high-quality annual option that can fit producers willing to manage it carefully.27:28–30:32 For western Oklahoma, Pugh says native forages often make more sense under dryland conditions, though introduced species still have a place. He estimates native establishment in far western areas may take a couple of years, especially with short- and mid-grass species.29:43–31:23 Pugh explains the economics of perennial versus annual forage systems. Perennials usually win on establishment cost, while TEFF can justify annual planting through quality, tonnage, and hay-market value. He notes TEFF is frost-intolerant, planted around early May, and typically harvested two to three times by late summer.31:23–32:57 The episode closes by returning to the big theme: yes, pastures can come back, but recovery takes investment. Arnall emphasizes the hard truth that producers often want to rebuild only after markets weaken, which is exactly when spending money on fertilizer and herbicide is hardest.33:05–end Dave closes the show, thanks Brian Pugh, and directs listeners to the website for guest information and resources.

What actually works in wheat weed control when the old spray plan starts slipping? In this episode of Red Dirt Agronomy, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall, and Josh Lofton sit down with Liberty Galvin at AgriFest in Enid to talk through the real-world decisions that separate a clean wheat field from a frustrating one. The conversation covers pre-emergent herbicides, burndown programs, delayed planting, competitive wheat canopies, and why one weed-control strategy rarely fits every field. Liberty also breaks down why producers need to think beyond chemistry alone. From no-till residue and seedbank behavior to variety selection, tillage timing, and even the role of fire and chaff lining, this episode is packed with practical ideas for Oklahoma wheat producers facing ryegrass, brome, cheat, and other tough weed problems. It is a sharp, funny, highly useful discussion about managing weeds with better timing, better systems, and fewer assumptions. Top 10 takeaways Wheat weed control has to be system-specific now; one standard program no longer fits every field. Delayed planting can be a real weed-control tool because it lets producers target the first flush before or near planting. Variety selection and crop competition deserve more attention as weed-management tools, not just yield tools. A dense, fast-closing wheat canopy can suppress weed emergence and make herbicides work in a friendlier environment. In heavy-residue no-till systems, burndown programs may sometimes outperform soil-applied pre-emergent products because of poor soil contact. Bare ground at green-up is not always a disadvantage; it can create an opening for spring residual herbicides. Herbicide timing and rotating modes of action matter as much as product choice when resistance is in play. Weed seedbanks behave differently by species; many grasses are shorter-lived than broadleaf weeds, which can persist much longer. Occasional strategic tillage may have value in long-term resistance management, but timing, moisture, and erosion risk all matter. Fire and chaff lining are not silver bullets, but they may become useful post-harvest tools in integrated weed-management systems. Detailed Timestamped Rundown00:00–01:34 — Dave opens Episode 509 and frames the show around a question many wheat producers are asking: what do you do when the old reliable spray program is not getting the job done anymore?01:34–03:03 — The crew records live from AgriFest in Enid, with a quick round of banter before introducing Liberty Galvin and setting up the conversation around current wheat weed-control challenges.03:03–05:06 — Liberty gives an update on building her program at OSU and describes her “spaghetti plate method” of trying multiple ideas until a clearer research direction starts to form.05:06–06:06 — She explains a pre-emergent herbicide study funded by the Wheat Commission, including trials at Lahoma, Perkins, and Chickasha, and how dramatically different those environments behaved.06:06–07:15 — Liberty shifts to a cultural weed-control and IPM study, comparing multiple systems, including variety selection, to see which wheat types compete best against weeds.07:15–09:28 — The discussion turns to delayed planting. Liberty explains how cooler temperatures and moisture patterns affect winter weed emergence, and why delaying planting can help knock out the first flush.09:28–11:02 — Josh and Brian push on the tradeoffs: smaller, later wheat may conserve resources for spring, but more open soil can also invite weed emergence.11:02–15:13 — The group digs into species-specific weed behavior, especially Italian ryegrass, and talks through spring residual opportunities, bare ground at green-up, and mixing herbicide timings and modes of action.15:13–17:34 — Economics enter the picture. Liberty points out how hard it is to recommend multiple passes in a $4 wheat market, while Brian argues that badly infested fields can still justify stronger programs.17:34–20:21 — They compare delayed planting, tillage, roundup burndown, and no-till systems, with Liberty sharing observations that residue-heavy no-till fields may not always favor soil-applied pre products.20:21–24:23 — The conversation moves into tillage in long-term no-till, including when precision tillage might help, how moisture affects the operation, and how occasional soil inversion could influence resistant weed problems.24:23–28:01 — Dave asks how long weed seeds persist. Liberty gives a great primer on seedbanks, explaining why many grasses tend to have shorter dormancy while some broadleaf seeds can remain viable for years or even decades.28:01–31:44 — Josh shares a story about deep flipping fields and unexpectedly bringing crabgrass back. That leads into a broader point from Liberty: selection pressure drives weed problems, so no single tactic can carry the whole load.31:44–35:14 — Josh asks Liberty to explain her identity as a weed ecologist rather than a purely herbicide-focused weed scientist. She lays out why understanding weed biology helps producers exploit weak points with smarter management.35:14–39:11 — The crew tackles the myth that healthy soil alone eliminates weeds, then pivots into fire as a weed-management tool, including controlled burns, chaff lining, and research showing seed destruction under the right conditions.39:11–42:31 — They explore what fire can and cannot do, how residue burns sometimes create cleaner zones, and why chaff lining could eventually reduce sprayed acres by concentrating weed pressure into narrow strips.42:31–45:56 — The show closes with a plug for Winter Crop School, more Oklahoma burn-talk humor, and a final thank-you to Liberty for a practical and entertaining conversation.

In this episode, Greg Judy shares practical, field-tested insight into successfully grazing sheep and cattle together. Drawing from his experience managing South Poll cattle and parasite-resistant hair sheep across owned and leased farms in Clark, Missouri, Greg explains how multi-species grazing increases profitability, improves pasture health, and simplifies parasite management. Rather than promoting sheep as a standalone enterprise, this episode demonstrates how integrating species creates biological synergy. Greg walks through sourcing adaptable breeding stock, training sheep to respect electric fence, rotational strategies, and even how combining bulls and sheep into a “flerd” can streamline winter management. This conversation is packed with actionable lessons for cattle producers considering adding sheep to diversify income and strengthen pasture performance.
