About this listen

In this episode of Breaking Barriers with R&D, lifelong farmers and Total Acre founders Randy Dowdy and David Hula tackle one of farming’s greatest variables — Mother Nature. From drought in South Georgia to hailstorms in Michigan, the duo explores how weather shapes harvest outcomes and the strategies farmers can use to stay ahead. Randy and David share real-world lessons on crop management and fungicide use, emphasizing how proactive decisions protect yield and reduce costly harvest setbacks. They dig into the realities of rising input costs and how to “finish the crop” for strong ROI, even when equipment prices soar. Listeners will also gain actionable insights for soybean success — including early planting, maturity selection, and precision timing — plus a heartfelt discussion on faith, community, and partnerships that sustain farmers through tough seasons. Tune in to learn how continual improvement, collaboration, and innovation can help you break barriers on every acre.
