In this episode of the Agronomy Answers podcast, Zach Hefty is joined by Hefty Naturals brand manager Matt Thompson to dig into corn residue: what it’s made of, why there’s more of it than ever, and how to break it down faster. They cover how lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose work together, why fall nitrogen on stalks may not be doing what you think, and why applying a living biological to frozen ground sets you up for failure. Matt also explains how Decomp combines fungi, bacteria, and enzymes to speed up breakdown, and what growers should realistically expect from residue management products. If you’re battling heavy residue and wondering what actually works, this episode is packed with practical insights.
