This episode shares an Iowa farmer's journey of making small changes, learning more, and improving step by step. From better soil testing to better fertilizer use and new ways to apply products, each improvement helped move the operation forward. What You'll Learn: How to improve your farm even when you cannot do everything you want How better planning and soil testing can help you make better decisions Why small changes can lead to big improvements over time
Sometimes better farming starts with one simple decision: be willing to change. In this episode, we sit down with an Iowa farmer who grew up farming the traditional way. As he started managing his own ground, he began exploring no till, cover crops, and a different approach to fertility. The results gave him plenty of reasons to keep going. What You'll Learn: ✓ How changing fertility practices helped improve farm yields ✓ Why no till and cover crops can improve soil structure and water infiltration ✓ How liquid fertility can complement a soil health system
In this episode, we talk about upcoming field days and why hands on learning matters so much. We share what farmers can see in the field, from liquid fertilizer systems and drones to root pits, soil testing, and real-world crop trials. What You'll Learn: How deep roots can access nutrients beyond the normal soil sample Why field trials can reveal lessons for the next crop How better nutrient management can improve efficiency and long-term soil health
Sometimes the biggest test isn't choosing between right and wrong. It's choosing between something good and what God has called you to do. In this episode, Rod walks us through Numbers 32 and the story of Reuben and Gad, who found good land and wanted to settle there before reaching the Promised Land.
A farm is more than acres and equipment. It is a business, a family, and a legacy. In this episode, Rod sits down with Kayla to talk about growing up in the family business, the lessons that shaped her, and what it takes to build a stronger future for farmers and their families. So, how do you create enough opportunity for the next generation to come home? The message is simple: you don't have to follow someone else's blueprint. Find what works for your farm, your family, and your future. What You'll Learn: Why every job on the farm and in the business matters How education and leadership can strengthen a farm business Why adding revenue streams can create opportunities for the next generation
High input costs, high interest, and uncertain markets are putting more pressure on farmers than ever. So how do you protect the farm when you can't control the price of grain, the weather, or interest rates? You start with what you can control. In this episode, Rod challenges farmers to stop relying on "plant and pray" and start looking closely at what each input is doing for the farm. The goal isn't simply to grow more bushels. It's to grow profitable bushels. What You'll Learn: Why chasing yield alone doesn't guarantee profit How knowing your numbers can change farm decisions How small decisions today can help protect the farm for the next generation
Every season brings a new list of products promising bigger yields. They sound impressive. The real question is simple: will it make you money? In this episode, Rod encourage farmers to look past the marketing and dig into the numbers. He explains why field days, soil testing, and real field results can help farmers make better decisions for 2027. What You'll Learn: Why there is no one silver bullet for higher yields How to question new products before spending money How field days and grower results can lead to better ROI
Farming is more than raising a crop. It's building a business that can support your family today and for generations to come. In this episode, we sit down with Illinois farmer and banker Isaac to discuss farming from both sides of the table. We talk about improving return on investment, making better input decisions, and why lenders value farmers who have a clear plan for improving profitability. What You'll Learn: What lenders look for when evaluating farm operations How better input decisions improve ROI
