episode #70: Why Soil Structure Might Be Your #1 Yield Driver cover

Description

This episode dives into one of the most overlooked—but critical—drivers of crop performance: soil structure. The team breaks down how a newly developed soil structure rating is outperforming traditional metrics in predicting yield, and why factors like compaction, biology, and pore space may matter more than fertility alone. If you’re chasing higher yields, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about soil testing and agronomy.

The Factory is Built... How Do We Maximize Production?

This episode starts by breaking down the yield equation and answering a fundamental question: how much of yield is really in Mother Nature's hands, and what can growers still influence? The answer lies in kernel weight—the one yield component that can still be impacted from R1 through R6. The key is understanding the physiology of the finish and managing crop stress during the grain-fill period. In this long-form conversation, Sean Nettleton and Mason Claude dive into the leading causes of crop stress, protein breakdown within the plant, soil test interpretation, nodule health, and practical strategies to help crops finish stronger and maximize yield potential. If your goal is to push yield this season, it's not too late. Start with this episode.
