And they’re not guessing…They have farm data going back to 1977

This isn’t theory — it’s tested, measured, and proven on their farm.

The Big Shift

• Moving from conventional tillage to strict no-till
• Why they believe tillage destroys soil ecosystems
• The philosophy of “mimicking nature” in production ag

• Multi-species cover crops
• Crop rotation (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton)
• Using chicken litter and reducing synthetic inputs
• Building soil biology below ground

• No-till vs. cover crop systems (replicated trials)
• Nitrogen timing with heavy residue
• Interplanting soybeans into corn
• Biological products and their ROI
• MicroNoc trials showing +15 bushel gains

• Improved water infiltration
• Reduced input costs
• Long-term soil productivity gains
• What actually worked—and what didn’t

• Mistakes made during transition
• Why adoption is still slow
• What farmers get wrong about regenerative ag

This episode isn’t about going “organic.”

It’s about building a system that works economically and agronomically.

What happens when you mix farming, humor, and a little bit of chaos?

You get TractorGuy2022.

Joe — yes, that’s actually his real name (most people don’t know that) — has built one of the most entertaining ag followings on the internet.

From tractor pulls to random farm humor, he’s proving that agriculture doesn’t have to be serious all the time.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How he built a following of 300K+ on TikTok
• The story behind his John Deere "Polar Bear"
• Why he built his own tractor pull track at home
• The strategy (or lack of strategy) behind his viral content
• His relationship with TractorGal and family involvement
• Snowmobiles, sunglasses, and not taking life too seriously

This episode is a reminder that:

👉 Farming can be fun
👉 Personality matters
👉 And sometimes the best content is just being yourself

In agriculture, sometimes the best advice comes from the conversations farmers have at the coffee shop.

That’s exactly the spirit behind the What’s Working in Ag segment — learning what is actually working in the field right now.

In this episode, David Whitaker sits down with Jeff Moon of Corteva Agriscience, a Minnesota Market Development Specialist who has spent his entire career in agriculture.

Together they break down one of the biggest challenges growers face every season: weed pressure and how to stay ahead of it.

Jeff explains why weed management decisions today impact much more than the current crop. A single waterhemp plant can produce up to 500,000 seeds, and those seeds can remain viable in the soil for years — creating long-term weed pressure if problems aren’t addressed early.

The conversation covers several practical insights farmers should consider when building their weed control programs:

• Why weeds reduce yield by competing for sunlight, moisture, and nutrients
• How insect pressure can increase when weed patches are ignored
• The importance of using multiple modes of action to prevent resistance
• Why relying on the same chemistry year after year can create bigger problems
• The value of scouting fields instead of only checking the field entrance
• Why spraying weeds when they’re 2–4 inches tall dramatically improves success

Jeff also discusses how modern herbicide programs often combine multiple tools — including residual control and post-emerge options — to deliver more consistent results across different farming systems.

Because every farm operates differently, the best weed control strategy depends on factors like tillage practices, cropping systems, and environmental conditions.

The key takeaway: weed management is not a one-pass decision — it’s a season-long strategy.
