Population. Nitrogen. Variety. They all play a role in yield.
Our latest episode explores wheat cropping systems as University of Kentucky student Allie Mutter shares her research on finding the optimal nitrogen rate for wheat.

We started this podcast to share valuable info with growers, and we've found that graduate students are one of the best places to find those insights.
We sat down with 5 grad students to hear first-hand takes on the future of agronomy for our latest ep: bit.ly/4meDxx8

In row cropping, the little things matter, even when they add a little time. Applying starter can improve weather tolerance after planting and potentially pay off in yield. @kentuckycrops and @cypathology discuss why it may be worth considering. linktr.ee/penneypodcast

The first stop on the soil health improvement train: no-till or reduced tillage.
@kentuckycrops shares how reducing tillage can help improve soil health by reducing erosion and compaction.

🌾 What drives high wheat yields in Kentucky?
An analysis of Wheat Yield Contest data found that fungicide programs were strongly associated with yield.

This is an interesting study when a corn field is dealing with temporarily saturated soils.
🌽 Does corn still respond to N after waterlogging?
An Ohio study found that waterlogging reduced corn yields by up to 25%, but plants still responded to sidedress N. The usual ear leaf N sufficiency threshold (2.75%) remained applicable after flooding.

Grad student Allie spilled a few wheat seeds in the truck bed. It looks like her accidental germination test is going really well!

Cover cropping is all about finding the sweet spot: enough biomass to protect your soil without having too much.
Dr. Chad Lee and his team at the University of Kentucky are working to find that sweet spot.
