  • Interesting Insects with Anne McRae

    Interesting Insects with Anne McRae
    Feb 25 2024

    Bugs, bugs and MORE bugs! The insect space is one that I do not claim to be an expert in. If anything, it's one area that I need to spend more time learning about. Knowing that there are experts out there, like Anne McRae with BASF, I was able to spend some time learning from her. Anne brings a vast amount of knowledge to this space given her experience over many different growing seasons and working with many different crops. Ever wonder how long it takes to get a new product to market? Are you currently using insecticides on your farm, but wonder what best use practices to follow? Tune in to this episode to gain insights into these topics and more with Anne!

    Jan 31 2024

    As the new year begins, so does a new episode of The Crop Corner. For this episode, I am joined by Shawn Brenneman from CanGrow to discuss, ponder and explore the world of biologicals. The biological space has definitely become an area of interest for the industry, but where does one begin when it comes to biologicals? Shawn shares his insights and expertise on this and many other topics while we chat. Grab a notepad and pen - there's lots of excellent information in this episode!

  • Foundations of Fertigation with Friedhelm Hoffmann

    Foundations of Fertigation with Friedhelm Hoffmann
    Dec 31 2023

    And just like that, 2023 is coming to a close. But before the year ends, I want to leave you with this: FERTIGATION! What is it exactly you may ask? Does it have a fit on my farm operation? Where do I get started with fertigation? Tune into this episode to get those answers and more where I discuss the science (and art!) of fertigation with Lakeside's Friedhelm Hoffmann. Friedhelm has a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to horticulture crops and his fertigation program is something you won't want to miss out.
