It is a personal character trait of having that willingness to say, number one, we're recognizing that Junior is capable, has the skill set, has the ability to take over some of our management duties. And then number two, it's that how the heck do you just give up control? And that's just human nature is we want control. And so in order to give up control and to me it is for that next generation to show their aptitude their skill set their ability to a take over the operation and kind of keep things status quo but also what are they bringing to the table are they bringing some other type of skills and ability or connections relationships to the farming operation so that the owner generation says okay this thing is in good hands
Ladies and gentlemen, farmers, ranchers, and distinguished guests, thank you for listening to the Farm for Profit podcast, where we discuss the latest ideas, methods, trends, and techniques available to help your farm achieve higher levels of farm profitability. Remember, if you aren't farming for profit, you won't be farming for long.
So here to talk nitrogen stabilizers with a great representative from Corteva, I've got Andrew Luzum here. And welcome back to the podcast. Thank you. Appreciate it. We also know that that soil profile is extremely complex. So do you have any suggestions this fall as we go through harvest as to what our listeners should be doing soil sampling wise?
You talk CECs, organic matter, everything, soils are very complex, right? So we always recommend that we're pulling soil tests, especially within every four years at minimum. With that, you know, we want to make sure that we've got adequate moisture. We're not overly too dry of soils that will throw soil skews or soil test way off. The other thing is we want to make sure we're striving for accuracy and consistency when we look at these soil tests. You know, we want to make sure we're getting good six to eight inch cores and we want to make sure we're pouring and sending them to a good certified lab who's going to be running those results. You know, I know that fall gets busy for a lot of growers.
I think a lot of guys, even like ourselves, always think, you know, we're going to get to that this fall and 80 other things be coming the way. You know, I always recommend to hire somebody you can trust to make sure that you're getting those soil tests pulled because it is important. You know, you look at the economics and the farm economy we're in today, you know, fertility really hasn't dropped in price, unlike what we've seen happen on the commodity side. And so we want to make sure that we are knowing what we're going to be putting out there this fall. There's a lot of guys looking at cutting back from a fertility perspective. I get it. But let's make sure we're dialed in and putting out what we absolutely are going to need to raise crop next year.
As we get these soil samples, what do our listeners need to do with those results after they come back?
So using a certified lab, they're going to help give you those results and then help make recommendations. If you're not using a good certified lab that's helping you do that, please use a good local retailer who is well aligned to be giving you or helping you with those results. I know Iowa State Extension also is really good at helping through those at times if guys need additional help. But make sure you're using people around you, resources. Even folks like myself or other people that work for Corteva are happy to help work through those recommendations.
If somebody wants to learn more about nitrogen stabilizers, how best do they do that?
Yeah, they should be able to do that through their local retailer to reach out to a local Corteva AgriScience rep. If they don't have success there, please just go to nitrogenstabilizers.com and you'll be able to see everything we've got going.
And listeners, welcome back to the Farm for Profit podcast. You got Tanner sitting here. Corey's here too. You're really close to me.
