Spring Planting and Tillage Updates
IntroductionWe appreciate you taking your time to spend with us and for choosing to listen to our podcast.Thank you again for suggesting topics for us to talk about on the podcast and keep them coming. Send those to farm4profitllc@gmail.com or find us all over social media.We greatly appreciate your help in growing our audience.Listener Review: - Ryan Vavroch – Hey Corey, Started listening to the podcast in the last couple of weeks……Just wanted to say I love the podcast and you guys are doing a great job!Reminder for BW fusion biologicals offer of an opportunity of access to their 365 program from last weekWhat’s Working in AG – (Ag Venture) - Germ Testing –Vigor Testing and Hybrid SelectionIntroduce GuestHaving an agronomy team you can rely on all year round matters why?Do you recommend to your clients to have their seed hybrids sent for germ testing or vigor tests?What’s the difference between germination and vigor?Vigor testing does not only measure the percentage of viable seed in a sample, it also reflects the ability of those seeds to produce normal seedlings under less than optimum or adverse growing conditions similar to those which may occur in the field. Seeds may be classified as viable in a germination test which provides optimum temperature, moisture and light conditions to the growing seedlings; however, they may not be capable of continuing growth and completing their life cycle under a wide range of field conditions. Generally, seeds start to lose vigor before they lose their ability to germinate; therefore vigor testing is an important practice in seed production programs.It’s important to knowHow are these tests done?Cold testAccelerated AgingElectric ConductivityAnything else?Can this testing be done of the farm or does it need to go to a lab?How should we use these results?Hybrid planting dateHybrid populationField selection by soil type or geographyWhat if the Spring doesn’t show up like we had planned?How can we use the data we have from germ testing to make changes?Any other suggestions to share with our listeners?Planting/Planter Segment (HTS Ag)----What could farmers be doing to plant additional profit in to each acre this spring?Introduce the guest. - AdamHere we are at the end of February. If we haven’t put much thought into the planter yet, what are the most important things we should make sure to check before planting?Worn out bushings and parallel armsWhat kind of planter technology and advancements are on the market today?Advancements in downforceHigh speed planting seems to be popular. Are farmers upgrading to plant faster or for the better singulation?Row ClutchesAdvancements in variable rates and hybridsWhat are some tips, most already know, but we should cover about planting field conditions?What about in season service? Have there been any advancements in helping a farmer out in the middle of spring?Mobile/VirtualKnow anything about Autonomous Planting? Any opinions of where you think it will go? – Sabanto We see and hear about them but haven’t really seen much promise of it becoming widely adopted.Anything else you’d like to share with the listeners?Tillage Segment (Deere)---What’s new and available for producers spring?Intro – Tillage Man SamWhat are some of the latest advancements in tillage equipment for seed bed preparation?Vertical TillageSpeed TillageFinishing with a harrow or rolling basket or something else?John Deere-TruSet TechnologyLate last year, Sunflower introduced the SF6830 Series high-speed rotary finisher. By adjusting the angle at which these blades engage the soil, the operator has more exacting control of the tool and can match soil conditions and ground speed of the implement to achieve a smooth, even seedbed with every pass.The new tillage tools incorporate John Deere’s precision control, TruSet Technology, which lets you make on-the-go depth and down-pressure adjustments from the cab. You can fine-tune the implement with 0.1-inch adjustments with just the touch of a button.And, the TruSet system provides the ability to execute prescriptions and document the tillage operation. So, you can run variable-depth tillage prescriptions to incorporate residue at different levels across the field or change the depth of tillage for different conditions such as lighter soils or areas of known compaction.Alright, maybe we can’t go out and buy new. What should we be thinking about this winter to get our tillage tools ready for Spring?Bearings, sweeps, common wear points?What’s next? – What have you seen coming down the pipe?For a culture that is working to award farmers for no-til or minimum tillage operations through carbon credits….what makes it still necessary?LSW vs tracks MFWD but with 4 tracksWhat do you see your top producing or top tier of clients doing?

Ray Bohacz is a sweet corn farmer from Warren County, New Jersey with a knack for writing. Here today to share with us some of his insight from over 3000 articles written about how paying attention to the 3 legs of the farm profit stool can help you be a more profitable farmer.3 Legs to the Profit Stool (Should get Equal Attention)Agronomy/Animal HusbandryMarketingMaintenance/EquipmentReminder that profit is not what you make in total, it’s what you get to keep in the end.When thinking about the end of the year or the time of year. It’s always good to reflect on how you have ran your business.What went right?What went wrong?What can I do better?Now think about this for your equipment. Think about how this effects your profit. What went wrong? Right, EtcVery rarely if something went wrong was it….Bad luckAn accidentFreak rare eventMost of the time it’s from neglect or “closing your eyes”Talking and bragging about equipment up keep and maintenance isn’t “sexy” (except for Andy Pasztor) We need to make it a focus, something cool to talk about, something to bring up at the coffee shop or CO-OPPeople have a passion for high yields and selling at the top of the market.Nobody brags about a good shop routine or minimal break downsA lack of attention to your fleet can directly affect your profitability.You can’t control the weather, have little control over the markets, and can rely on technology advancements in genetics (plant and animal).But what you have full control over is how you maintain and prepare your equipment for the tasksBy properly maintaining equipment you minimize break downs, timely downtime, increase efficiency, and extend the life of your assets.So how do we do this? How do we get started?An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cureMake small changes to make a big differenceTake an ounce from 16 diff places to add up to one pound of cureIf you don’t know, you need to ask someone who does – HotRod Farmer Contact infoFind the low hanging fruit and build on it month after monthExamples of things covered on his show that might be helpful to start with (Low Hanging Fruit)How to protect an engine during storage. - Keeping mice away from electricals?Getting the best from your A/C system. – keeping it coldTo get the most ROI… read the manual AGAIN!There is more to modern engine oil than the SAE rating.How clean is your fuel storage tank? – Should you be treating your fuel?Learn the difference between new, remanufactured and rebuilt.If you soil test you also need to fluid test too!An efficient way to keep parts in order.Overlooked pre and post harvests procedures – what about spring?Getting the most out of tires - Tire pressure and soil compactionAny Others?Three simple steps to decrease equipment failure and down time?Any last comments to share with the listeners?What is a common characteristic the most successful farmers you know all have in common?SummaryChallengeClosingShare your ideas for shows farm4profitllc@gmail.comShare our podcast with your connectionsThank you
