What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Full count, bases loaded, and the pitch. Your kid hit that last home run? Sure did. A real powerhouse, huh? Just like my John Deere 6 Series tractor. Your what? Handles whatever I need. Feeding, planning, heavy lifting. We still talking baseball? Sorry, I get carried away. John Deere 6 Series tractors. A team player built to handle whatever your operation needs. See your local John Deere dealer. NASCAR runs on speed, power, and ethanol. And that starts right here in Iowa. Because we glow the corn, we turn it into fuel, and we keep the engines running. Iowa's corn farmers and ethanol have been driving NASCAR for over 20 million miles. Every lap of the Iowa Corn 350 shines a spotlight on what we grow best. 20 million plus miles on ethanol.
95% of cars can use E15. Corn glows Iowa. you wouldn't shave half your face. Oh, no. Or chop down half a tree. So why leave weeds half-finished? Cairo Herbicide from Corteva Agriscience delivers complete control with a novel triple-action pre-mix formula, the ultimate application flexibility, and season-long protection against tough weeds. Cairo Herbicide. Going all the way is the only way. Visit corteva.us slash complete.
Right. So kind of think about it this way. If my coffee cup is a cell within a plant and we apply some type of seaweed to it, we have over 150 compounds in that seaweed. They go across the leaf just like a herbicide would. Yeah. And they bind on to these receptors on the outside of the cell and they cause the inside of the cell to do something different.
That's what she said.
It's time for another Farm for Profit episode. We're just hanging out here at the AgExplorer World Headquarters. Cape Girardeau with not a pond in sight. No cape either. Yeah, seems like it should be more tropical. Now I want to know who Girardeau is. Sounds French. Could be. Yeah. We should look that history up. Jamie, why don't you do that? I don't have my computer. I could be doing that. You have an iPad. I do have an iPad, but I've got to watch to make sure that you don't talk too loud. Oh. That's my role here. Excited to have Dr. John Murphy here, PhD. Pretty hot and delicious. Pretty horrible decision. Pile higher and deeper. Pile higher and deeper. That's right. Sometimes we need tall boots to walk through the talk about.
How many years does it take to get a PhD? Too many. It'd be different probably for you than it would be for Dr. John. But I always heard like doctor, to be like a doctor, you go and get surgery. Like a real doctor. Like a real, yeah.
MD.
Yeah, MD. It's like eight years. It's a lot. Yeah. How long is it for?
I had four years of my undergrad, two years for master's, three years for my PhD.
Well, that's longer than an MD.
Well, but they have a whole bunch after their undergrad.
They have residency and then they have, yeah.
Wow. Wow. Wow. You just beat your head on the wall until they let you out. That's what I found.
Yeah.
So listeners, if you have your PhD, you need to text us 515-207-9640 and let us know how long it took you. Did you have to write a thesis on anything special?
I did. I wrote one. We looked at carbon balance in terms of how can we measure photosynthesis, the impacts of different stress. Can we predict it from both? We designed a gas exchange chamber and then we used hyperspectral imagery.
Do you have to write your PhD on whatever your degree is in?
Yeah, for the most part, because your coursework is all associated with that.
Okay. So you can't go like rogue and say, I'm going to like design major and write something on crops. Probably not. All right. For now, the real question is, do you use any of your PhD in your job?
So the answer I'm supposed to say is yes. The real answer is probably no.
Okay.
That's reassuring. Just don't tell that to Tim. Tim thinks I use a lot of it.
All right. We've had the pleasure to talk to you a couple of different times. We've gotten to know Dr. John over... Is that the name of that store in the mall that you go to? I know what you're thinking here. Yeah. Is that what... That's Spencer's gift. Say that's Spencer's. Yeah. Hot topic.
