Could You Farm More Precisely? w/ Josh Kayser CSA
IntroReview: Just wanted to shoot you guys a message and thank you all for the podcast. I really enjoy it because it’s so relatable! @LeemsMcGeems. Kris LehmanRemind them to leave reviews on the platform they listen on, message us on social media or send ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.comWhat’s Working in AG – Walkabout mother bins and Outback Wrapswww.outbackwraps.comDavid Hedt (pronounced head), is an Australian born entrepreneur who has a passion for helping farmers increase their efficiency and profit for their operation. Dave grew up on a farm outside of Dimboola, Victoria in Australia. He became a diesel mechanic and worked with Volvo and Mack Trucks. Coming to the US the first time in 2000 he migrated here permanently in 2012.

Josh works with growers and Pioneer seed reps on variable rate seed, N and fertility. He also grows corn and soybeans near Emery, SD with his two brothers and his father. Kayser is also the Mayor of Emery, serves on the board for the Emery Volunteer Fire District and was a former ASA DuPont Young Leader. When not farming, Josh enjoys time with his wife and their four children. BUSY GUY! Josh, tell us a little more about how you got to where you areshare background and how you became CSAWe want to explore more options to help us achieve higher levels of profitability. Do you see the use of our current and developing variable rate technology being a way to do that?Key talking points: VR equates to more profitability by:better optimizing input investments (not over-applying where you don’t have the yield potential, and pushing yield on most productive ground)better accounting for variability within fieldsbeing able to adjust your plans to account for farming variables like weatherWhat goes into the process of getting started or set up to do VRT?Key talking points: overview technology needsoverview who to partner with to get the support/service you needstart with soil samplingset yield goalscreate custom scriptsin-season monitoring/adjustingIs it necessary to do soil sampling to get a good baseline or can you do without?Follow-up Questions: Why do we soil sample anyway?N P K or more? Level up?How often should we be sampling?What time of year should we sample?What’s the best technique of sampling?What determines the size of the sample or area for sample?Have we really reached the point in our advancements with technology where VRT actually works?Key talking points: Flat rate isn’t only uneconomical, it’s not environmentally friendlyAs we look at how farming has changed in recent decades, we’ve transitioned to thinking about our entire farm to really focusing on the fields within the farm. Now, we’re moving towards better managing zones within fields, and in the future we’ll be managing every plant with things like drone application. Technology is allowing us to better manage in-field variables so that we can set yield targets and then put plans in place to achieve them, but it takes a different kind of management than how we farmed in the past. What makes Granular Agronomy different from other precision offerings on the market? Key Talking Points We start by creating what we call decision zones within your field. These zones are comprised of three things: Environmental response units, which take into account your soil type, field elevation, and how the field lays MYYA (Multi-year yield analysis) We utilize multiple years of yield data to determine historical areas of low, medium and high production. This layer intersects the ERUs to provide even greater clarity on yield capability.Irrigation – If a field has irrigation, zones are created to denote irrigated and non-irrigated. Different yield targets can be set accordingly, and irrigated zones utilize user-entered irrigation events, including fertigation We use these decision zones when we come up with N, seeding and fertility recommendations. In addition to these zones, Granular Agronomy works with Corteva and IBM/The Weather Company to look at the past 20 years of weather history. With that, we can run scenarios so that we’re prepared to adjust plans for drought or extremely wet years. I don't just create the rec and walk away. I’m there to partner with growers throughout the season to make sure we’re adjusting to in-season variables. Granular Agronomy has more than 200 CSAs throughout the country to make sure we’re providing the boots-on-the-ground service farmers need Also included with Granular Agronomy is directed scouting from Granular Insights, which is the best satellite imagery on the market. During the growing season, it ranks which fields are changing in terms of plant health the most, so you know where to prioritize scouting efforts. How do Granular Agronomy and Pioneer seed work together? Do you have any good examples of how someone made the transition from not using VRT and now is a believer?Key Talking Points Share one or two first-hand examplesGA has been used on millions of acres in the U.S. On average, the farmers who have used it have:Boosted Profits: $27/Acre returnReduced Inputs: 9 pounds less nitrogen per acreIncreased Yield 6 bu/A increaseWhat would you say to those who don’t think it works?Any stories of mistakes to avoid?Open comments, last thoughts? Go to Granular.ag or your local Pioneer agent to learn more and find your CSASummary.Challenge.ClosingReminder about the partnership to get 10% off up to $1,000.

Preparing for a Successful Meeting With Your Banker
Preparing for Loan Renewal SeasonIntroductionLike, Rate, Review, ShareSubmit ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.comWhat’s happeningNearing the end of harvest – great stretch of weatherPartnership with Granular. They have been enjoying our podcasts and wanted to show their support for our show. I think it demonstrates a commonality with a lot of producers and we appreciate the support from everyone, the listeners and granular.What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback www.granular.agGranularIntroduce Guest - Dallas Welp - CO1) Accurate record keeping2) seamless transfer from my John Deere3) Helps the relationship with the banker VISIONBANK COMMERCIAL www.visionbank.comAre you ready for the next conversation with your banker?Draw nervous comparisons to the meeting with the banker……dentist, wedding day, etc…Start by lightly introducing the format with recording and Jeff Plagge as the superintendent of banking.(Clip @ 5 seconds)Clip @ 2 minute mark – talking about reflecting on the price rallies now and being careful of how we put information on the balance sheet. How can government payments like CFAP2 help in a cash flow projection?Communicate early and often so there aren’t any surprises for either party.Learn more about what your banker is looking for. If you learn how to provide the information your banker needs more timely, more organized, and more accurate it should provide a more favorable response.Faster answers because it’s easier and probably gets moved to the top of the list.Better rates because each loan gets a factor for how good of a manager you are.(Clip at 5:35 about restructuring) Is now the right time to look at restructuring? What does that even mean?Work with them to make sure your information is accurate. The more you learn about reading a balance sheet or putting a projected cash flow together the better you can spot mistakes.They do happen, don’t let them cost your farm time or money.Should we be refinancing now? What should we be looking at when refinancing?Where are rates going? (Clip at 11:20)Ok, what if I get to cash in this fall….? Perfect storm, wind and hail policy in place, possibly unaffected by weather and have the rally to sell into, etc… what should I do with my extra cash that I wasn’t planning on? (Clip @ 13:40)Keep them honest. Unfortunately, repetitive relationships get into a rut for pricing, structure, and more. It doesn’t cost anything to have a relationship with another banker. Be open and set honest expectations, but those conversations can lead to interest savings, proper structure or new ideas. Summarize Challenge Conference UpdateSubmit questions and topic suggestions

With each ride the vision for SingleSpeed became more clear. Eventually, in Cedar Falls, Iowa, a modest 1700 SF facility, powered by a 3 BBL BrewHouse emerged. Today, our 3 BBL facility serves as our Research and Development center and is still firing out experimental ales. In November of 2016 we brought our 20 BBL brewery online, situated in the historically renovated WonderBread building in the neighboring community of Waterloo, Iowa.While our production capacity has changed, our goal of bringing intriguing, quality ales into your glass has not. We hope you are enjoying your ride as much as we are.Give Back ProgramSwitchback: A term commonly used by outdoor enthusiasts such as hikers, cyclists, and trail runners.Sometimes the incline of the climb is just too steep. In circumstances of this nature, a series of ‘switchbacks’ zig-zagging up the hill can be used to reduce the intensity of the slope, allowing travelers safe passage to the peak.In an effort to help all those embarking on what is intended to be their epic climb to the top, we have established our give back Program and titled it Switchback.

Farm4Fun w/ Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys featuring Big Grove Brewery
https://www.tylerrichton.com/contact-usThe story of Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys isn’t easy to put on to paper. The name "High Bank Boys" comes from the body of water flowing through the bands home territory in Deep River, Iowa. The Deep River passes through the town of the same name, but the shallow stream wasn't named for its actual depth, but rather the "High Banks" that contain the river in the town and surrounding area. Known for having their practices in and around the community, the “High Bank Boys” became the perfect name for the sensational group of men that was founded there.While shows performed by Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys are youthful and lively, the four members of the High Bank Boys have more than 50 years of experience playing live music combined. With this kind of dedication and devotion to country music, it's no wonder that the High Bank Boys have become the premier country band in the area. Known for being an excellent dance band as well as making the crowd feel like "one of the guys" when there's no dance floor available, the High Bank Boys are at home playing in almost any kind of venue or event.The musical travels of the various members of Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been extensive, both before and through the formation of the current band. Music has taken them from local clubs, to fireman's dances and anniversary parties, and from the largest events and festivals to street dances in the smallest of towns throughout the entire state of Iowa. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been honored to be the opening act for Locash, John Michael Montgomery, High Valley, Sunny Sweeney, Jordan Davis and Brett Young, among others. Each performance has been a great professional achievement for them, and they anxiously look forward to the next opportunity!Their most rewarding experiences, however, are the looks of satisfaction on the faces of their fans during and after another great show. It’s easy to see from their following, that this group of guys and the music they play is genuinely appreciated. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys’ repertoire includes iconic country cover tunes, as well as original music that is written and arranged by the band. All this and more makes the High Bank Boys a danceable, partying, crowd-pleasing, energetic band that is entertaining for folks of all ages.While our group makes the music, it's the individuals in the band that make Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys so unique.https://biggrovebrewery.com/We take pride in brewing award-winning craft beer and creating thoughtfully prepared food, both delivered by a warm and knowledgeable staff.

Farm4Fun w/ Royce Johns featuring Backpocket Brewing, LIVE Music, Making Money from Music, COVID Fines, and More!
www.roycejohns.comMost artists pay somebody to write a long, inflated, flashy bio about themselves, but I thought I’d just give it to you straight.My name is Royce John Schwienebart, or otherwise known as Royce Johns. I’m a husband, guitar picker, and singer. I’ve also written some songs on my first EP, but after coming to Nashville and really learning how a great song is written, I’d hate to call myself a songwriter just yet. But I’m slowly learning.I was born on June 22, 1995, in Des Moines, Iowa. I lived in Polk City for twelve years, moved to Pennsylvania for three, then moved back to Iowa in 2008 and have lived here since. I don’t think I could’ve been dealt a better hand when it comes to family, my parents, grandparents, and extended family. When most of my friends were into pop radio, I was sinking my teeth into AC/DC, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and all the classic rock from the ’60s-’80s. I really didn’t have much musically in common with most people my age, and always kinda liked it that way.When I was 13-14, I would sit in my bedroom for hours at a time, just trying to learn the intro licks to “Purple Haze” and “Thunderstruck”. I never played in band or choir, so all my learning basically has been informal and by ear.I worked a bunch of odd jobs to pay my way through high school into community college. From car washes to restaurants, retail, warehouse work, car sales, direct sales, and even auto wholesale.It wasn’t until I was 19 that I took my guitar out of my bedroom and into the streets of Ames, Iowa.I started busking with the 5 songs I knew how to play, and soon found other musicians that were playing on the streets. From that, I just wanted to play every open jam that I could find, just to get into playing music. I eventually found some other guys that have been playing music for many decades that taught me about playing bar gigs. I just wanted to play guitar, but drawing the short stick in the group, I was left up to be the singer as well. That band became Lincoln Rockhouse and was a starting point for my music career.I’ve always been around country music with my parents and grandparents, but it didn’t really hit me until I was finishing up my time playing with my cover band Lincoln Rockhouse. Soon after, I started to find my love for the stories of Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens, George Strait, Ernest Tubb, and most other popular country artists from the ’50s-’90s.
