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.

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.

It's a modern innovation that gives your crop the best possible beginning. The Heftys explain what goes onto every high-performance seed, so it can hit the ground running.

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.

Phosphorus plays a foundational role in early crop development, driving root growth, energy transfer, and stand establishment from the very first growth stages. This video explains why making phosphorus available right at the seed is crucial for strong early vigor and long-term performance — and ...

Phosphorus is essential for crop growth, but most of what growers apply quickly becomes chemically fixed and unavailable to the plant. In this video, we break down how phosphorus reacts in real soils, why traditional approaches fail to keep it available, and what needs to change to improve nutrie...

In this eye-opening video, we break down one of the biggest hidden challenges in crop fertility: phosphorus fixation in the soil. Most growers know they’ve paid for expensive phosphorus fertilizers — but do they know how much actually becomes plant-available? This video shows what really happens ...

Greensnap and lodging are preventable! The Hefty brothers share how to stand your ground before the storms roll in.

This week the Hefty brothers go underground to show plant's natural defenses, make the strongest stands, and help lower SCN across the country. The Weed of the Week is cattails, and Darren's got your spring sprayer tune-up.

In the world of crops & robbers, SCN is public enemy number one. Brian and Darren share how to help stop the crime spree beneath your beans.

Find out how farmers can raise crops with less fertilizer.

Brian and Darren discuss the process of soybean plants producing their own nitrogen.

Brian and Darren discuss the process of nodulation in soybeans and how they produce their own nitrogen. They also share tips for success with conventional corn, and how to get flooded ground back into production.

Your beans make their own nitrogen, but do they make enough? The Heftys show exactly how adding some strategic N can supercharge your yields.

Corn after corn can be a great sequel, but you have to get the chemistry right. Brian and Darren help you turn your yields into a blockbuster!

From plop to crop, cow manure is a nutrient powerhouse! Darren digs into the math behind nature's recycling program.
