  Are Nutrient Regulations Coming for Farmers? | The Granary

  Aug 18, 202631 min

  Are nutrient regulations headed for American agriculture? Damian Mason sits down at The Granary table with Kelly Garrett, Todd Kimbrell, and Tommy Roach to dig into a topic farmers may want to get ahead of. From nitrate concerns in Iowa and Nebraska to phosphorus issues around Lake Erie and the Chesapeake Bay, the guys discuss why nutrient management is attracting more attention—and what future regulation could actually look like. Pounds-per-acre limits? Water monitoring? Application restrictions? More recordkeeping? But regulation isn’t the only reason to rethink fertility. The conversation turns to nutrient use efficiency, cutting unnecessary nitrogen, drainage tile, soil mineralization, and the dollars that leave the farm every time nutrients leave the field. Can farmers maintain yield while applying less—and could better nutrient management actually improve the bottom line? Pull up a chair. This one gets into the water, the soil, the regulations, and, naturally, a little manure. This episode is presented by Nachurs .

  Farming Podcast | Regenerative Farming's 3rd Iteration | XtremeAg

  Jul 31, 202640 min

  Kelly Garrett is joined by Iowa's Lobe Rangers —Matt Bormann, Zack Smith, and James Hepp—to discuss what they call regenerative farming's third iteration: dramatically reducing synthetic nitrogen and phosphorus while maintaining yield and improving profitability. Moving beyond cover crops and no-till, the conversation explores on-farm nitrogen trials, nutrient management strategies, Iowa State research on reducing nitrate loss, and the emerging opportunities surrounding the 45Z tax credit. The group emphasizes that reducing fertilizer inputs is first and foremost a business decision that can improve return on investment while delivering environmental benefits as a byproduct.

  Farming Podcast | Reduce Nitrogen, Lower Your Carbon Score, and Capture 45Z Money—Here's How

  Jul 14, 202625 min

  Reducing synthetic nitrogen is becoming increasingly important as the USDA's updated 45Z carbon intensity calculator places greater weight on nitrogen use. XtremeAg is testing how far nitrogen rates can be reduced while maintaining yield through on-farm trials featuring Agricen's N-FINITY. Kelly Garrett is evaluating nitrogen programs ranging from 140 to 45 pounds per acre. The combination of lower fertilizer costs and potential 45Z tax credit eligibility makes nitrogen efficiency one of the biggest financial opportunities for corn growers.

  Farming Podcast | Is Your Farm Structure Costing You Money? New ARC & PLC Payment Rules Explained

  Jul 5, 202638 min

  Many farmers focus on maximizing crop yields, but far fewer realize their farm business structure could affect how much they receive from USDA safety net programs. In this episode, Kelly Garrett sits down with Jared Creed of JC Ag Financial Services to discuss the changes made by the One Big Beautiful Bill, including the new $155,000 payment limitation per eligible individual for ARC and PLC programs. They explain how entity structure, C corporations, and ownership arrangements can impact government payments, why larger farming operations should review their eligibility, and what producers need to know before the mid-July deadline.

  Farming Podcast | R-Stage Fertility for Higher Yields | XtremeAg

  Jul 1, 202622 min

  In this episode of XtremeAg’s Cutting the Curve, Damian Mason interviews agronomist Mike Evans of Calibrated Agronomy about the importance of R-stage fertility management in corn and soybeans. The discussion focuses on why growers should reserve part of their fertility budget for reproductive growth stages, when nutrient demand is highest and yield potential can still be influenced. Evans explains the value of sap analysis for identifying nutrient deficiencies, discusses timing considerations for corn and soybean fertility applications, highlights key nutrients such as potassium, boron, sulfur, and zinc, and outlines practical application methods including aerial, drone, ground rig, and pivot fertigation. The conversation emphasizes measuring results, adapting programs to local conditions, and making informed fertility decisions that improve yield and profitability.
