Description
Are you trying to get your yields up, but struggling to know where to start?  You’ve checked your nitrogen levels but what else is missing? In this episode, I sit down with the corn king himself Kevin Kalb.  He is known worldwide for his high-yielding crops.  Kevin utilizes dekalb seed.  He has been featured on the TV show “Corn Warriors.  He runs a big family farm in Dubois Co, Indiana. In our interview, Kevin tells us how important it is to play with ten acres of your land and be free to experiment with it, try new things and see what works and what doesn’t.  He talks about what some game-changers for his crops have been and what practices he has in place in order to get the best yields possible. He also shares with us things that he wishes he had done differently and offers bushel loads of information that we can take to heart and apply to our own crops in order to increase our yields. Questions asked: What was it like being on corn warriors? How did you get started chasing high yields? How important is it for farmers to do soil and tissue tests? What are some basic recipes for high yields? How to find the right people to work with.    Topics covered: Why it’s important to try new things on your crops. Why you need to be doing soil tests.  How to make a farm operation successful. Leaning into Soybeans.   Connect with Kevin:   Website: https://www.midwestadvancedcrop.com/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigyieldscorn   Listen to on: Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bin-buster/id1539932560 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1NeeISyT1fsTgHHlQVhbj7 Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/Bin-Buster-id3524084?country=us
