In this episode, Brian and Darren talk about planting corn in soil that is colder than people think it should be. They also offer tips on having a successful silage corn crop, and how to get residual herbicides to work better by incorporating them into the soil.

Don't let your nutrients go up in smoke! The Hefty brothers show why cooler heads should prevail when looking at your stalk-filled field.

There's a new piece of machinery that gives you the best of both worlds. The ETS SoilWarrior 4500 saves you time, money, and worry, with a much-needed innovation in fertility.

The Hefty brothers cover deep questions and burning issues this week: residue management, getting seeds to their sweet spot, and hot tips on spring cleaning your field. The weed is the awful absinth wormwood, and Darren introduces an innovation that pulls double duty.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PAID FOR PHOSPHORUS.
But do you know how much actually made it into the plant?
James Paterson and Temple Rhodes join moderator Matt Thompson for a straight-talk session exposing the gap between what you apply and what your crop actually gets.
They break down:
• The real cost of ...

Brian and Darren discuss how farmers deal with different soil types and fertility across fields. They also talk about products to use for weed control in both traited and conventional soybeans. Then they discuss products and timings for fungicide application in wheat.

Brian and Darren discuss how farmers deal with different soil types and fertility across fields.

Darren talks about some simple things you can do to have a great lawn this summer.

April strip-till? If it didn't fall into place, you can still spring into action, with this survival guide, compliments of the Hefty Farm.

The Heftys invite you to their farm this July; say it's better late than never on strip-tilling; and show why seeds are coated with so much. Broadleaf signalgrass is the Weed of the Week, and Darren spills the beans on tillage and The Three Pre's in Iron Talk.

Most growers invest heavily in phosphorus, yet a large portion of what’s applied never gets into the plant. In this video, we break down the core issue: why so much applied phosphorus becomes chemically unavailable in the soil before the crop can use it. You’ll learn what happens to phosphorus af...

Soil test phosphorus (P) numbers tell only part of the story. This video breaks down what standard soil tests measure — and what they often miss — when it comes to phosphorus that crops can actually access and use. A soil test gives an index of plant-available P, but it doesn’t always reflect the...

Phosphorus is a primary driver of yield, but only if it’s available to the plant. This video explains how phosphorus fuels root growth, energy transfer, and overall crop performance—and why managing availability is critical to maximizing fertilizer efficiency and season-long results.
