Crop Health, Harvest Takeaways, and Planning Ahead for 2026

This Farm4Profit Podcast episode brings a farmer-focused look at the role of company field reps and how they fit into the busy cycle of planting, protecting, harvesting, and planning for the next year. Our guest, Kylee Nodine, is a Field Marketing Manager at Corteva Agriscience, supporting crop protection teams across Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.

Kylee shares what she’s hearing from growers and local reps this season—from rainfall patterns to crop health to harvest outlooks—and explains why every farm can benefit from leaning more on the knowledge of their company reps.

Key themes from the episode include:

Boots on the Ground Insights: Crop health and harvest takeaways from the 2025 season across diverse geographies.

Maximizing Your Local Rep: Why reps should be seen as an extension of your business—helping with hybrid and variety planning, crop protection strategies, and post-harvest evaluations.

Smart Questions to Ask: The single best question farmers should ask at harvest and the call Kylee wishes more growers made early in the season.

Beyond Sales Teams: How Corteva’s specialized nitrogen stabilizer team and market development specialists support retailers, Extension, and growers with cutting-edge field trials.

Looking Ahead to 2026: What to jot down now before the spring rush—hybrid performance notes, weed escapes, nitrogen use, and more.

The episode wraps up with Kylee’s lightning-round favorites, plus a reminder that farmers don’t need to go it alone. With knowledgeable field teams, local reps, and new technologies, planning for profit starts now.
