Today's video has several interesting topics. Beck's Hybrids, Regional Agronomy Manager, Scott Dickey joins me on a video conference via Webex to discuss. We cover the following:
Soybean Planting Depth, a Beck's Hybrids PFR Proven Practice that costs nothing to implement. -
Soybean Planting Singulation, also a Beck's PFR Proven practice (Singulation pays in corn, does it in soybeans)
We also dive into a new product called BundleDROP, a novel concept to drop soybeans in singulated groups to give an extra push to emerge out of crusted & rain packed soil conditions. One year of testing on this, 2021
Underscoring the importance of adequate N for corn
And last of all we show 5 year data on May rainfall totals along with end of year yield results to see if there is a correlation on too much rain hurting yields.
Video is less than 20 minutes long from intro to outro, so give it a listen. Take care and good luck!

Interesting observations today with Beck's Hybrids agronomist Scott Dickey and TOP Ag Services agronomist Gavin Steuck. All corn became shallower than planted due to flattening of soils under rain/water. This observation the reason we need planter at 2" depth for corn. We also observed soybeans at a low pop and high pop and the effects on emergence. Take a look!

Good day, this episode though a little long contains really insightful information and mindsets from the perspective of a former FCS Financial Loan Officer. Clint Prange the Regional Business Manager for Beck's Hybrids joins me today to talk about farming, inflation, supply chain issues, and how to navigate our way going forward. This is worth your time to listen. It was recorded back in October but largely the same issues are still in front of us. And, the fundamentals discussed in this podcast are timeless as they relate to challenges we face perpetually, but tend to forget over time. At least if you are like me. Take a listen and I think you will be inspired! Cheers!

Here is a preview of the questions we ask Mr. Van Trump:-With the increasing hostility between Taiwan/China, how does that conflict and the US's involvement play out in our future grain prices? Do you see sanctions as a possibility in the future? -What is projected by those that know of what is happening on the Asia front right now. Some analysts say the food security inside the communist country is quite poor. Have they stockpiled enough grain? Do they believe SA have enough for what they need?-On SA, what about their politics? Seems like they have a good deal of drama. Why do they deal with strikes for their truck drivers in Brazil and port workers in Argentina? Am I missing how many times US workers are on strike? -With the response that we have seen to our ag commodity prices Post Covid-19 outbreak and the relief packages that followed, how does the government's monetary policy affect your planning and forecasting models? -(Follow Up Type Question) How does the modern farmer position himself the best to capitalize in an inflationary environment?-Outside of traditional ag investments such as land, buildings, equipment, etc., what do you feel is the best investment or use of spare capital for the farmer listening to you today? What industries or opportunities should an investor be looking at right now? -Finally, before we wrap up, and head into the winter, what can growers do to be prepared for bi polar Mr. Market?
