The studio was rocking and rolling last week as we recorded 2 new episodes with the University of Kentucky's Dr. Carl Bradley. Tomorrow, the science info is all yours—don't miss it! 🎙️ 👀 @ukagronomy

Soil sampling—we talk about it all the time, and for good reason! University of Kentucky student Elizabeth Hiter is sampling soil to study phosphorus movement in her research plots. Want to learn more? Listen now: bit.ly/4meDxx8

We started this podcast to share valuable info with growers, and we've found that graduate students are one of the best places to find those insights. We sat down with 5 grad students to hear first-hand takes on the future of agronomy for our latest ep: bit.ly/4meDxx8

Cover crops, reduced tillage, water quality and soil health all matter. But they also have to fit into a system designed to produce high-yielding cash crops. In our recent episode, Dr. Chad Lee discusses finding that balance. 🔗: bit.ly/4meDxx8 🎙️ @kentuckycrops

If you like agronomy, high-yields, farming better or BOURBON! Check out this awesome interview with @KentuckyCrops
Kentucky doesn’t grow as much corn as some other states, but our farmers have to grow some of the best to make it into Bourbon.

Like many routines that could benefit us, we often give up too soon. No-till is no different. In our recent episode, Dr. Chad Lee encourages farmers to give no-till 3–4 years before judging the results. 🌱 🔗 bit.ly/4meDxx8

I don’t think I’ve seen this in Iowa but if I missed it …..
Emerging leaf spot disease of corn under investigation in Michigan. Please keep an eye open for this leaf spot in corn and send a sample in to help with diagnosis @MSUDiagnostics @MSUExtension @MSU_PSM @MI_Corn @CropNetwork canr.msu.edu/news/emerging-l…

We can use cover crops to reduce erosion AND terminate them before they become a “weed” for corn.
Are cover crops a practical solution for managing ground that produces bourbon-quality corn? They sure are. Hear from University of Kentucky’s Dr. Chad Lee on cover crops, nitrogen, soil health and bourbon production. 🔗 bit.ly/4meDxx8 🎙️@kentuckycrops

Replying to @CyPathology
@CyPathology & @seanblomgren make the show go. Both are smart & and ask challenging questions. I appreciated getting to visit with them.

Talk about being excited for an episode to drop! @seanblomgren did an awesome job getting @ajmargenot from the great @UofIllinois on the show. That, plus @castellmj from @isuagronomy, doesn’t get much better!
What happens when you put two nitrogen experts in a room with two agronomy nerds? A podcast packed with science-based nitrogen insights. Hear from @castellmj and @ajmargenot on nitrogen in row crop systems. 🔗 bit.ly/4meDxx8

After our conversation, we were blown away by the insights @castellmj and @ajmargenot shared with us. Dr. Mike Castellano was especially excited about the discussion, and we’re excited for you to hear it. Lucky for you, the latest episode drops tomorrow!

Progress in agriculture never stops. We can be proud of the crop in the field today while preparing for what next year will bring. Hear more about how @seanblomgren and @SArchontoulis are preparing for changes: bit.ly/4meDxx8

The lessons we learn are only as valuable as what we do with them. For @CyPathology, that means an immediate "yes" when @ISUAgronomy invites him back to share a lesson with the same class he used to teach. Thanks for giving our favorite agronomy nerd the opportunity to share!
