Time to dig into the roots of what makes crops thrive—plant nutrition. We're joined by Gunny Kreps from AgXplore, a company leading the charge in nutrient management and plant health solutions. Gunny walks us through the five key phases of crop development, shares strategies for overcoming environmental challenges, and helps us better understand how proper nutrition can push yield potential to the next level.
Gunny Kreps joins the show to break down the fundamentals of plant nutrition and how it directly impacts crop growth, resilience, and yield. Representing AgXplore, Gunny explains the five stages of crop development—Foundation, Establishment, Architecture, Reproductive, and Maturity—and highlights how understanding and supporting each phase can maximize ROI.
We also tackle real-world challenges like slow plant growth, leaf rolling, grain fill issues, and unpredictable weather. Gunther shares what separates top-performing farms from the rest and offers advice on trying new practices, field trialing with check strips, and planning fertility strategies for 2025-2026. Plus, we wrap things up Farm4Fun style with some lighthearted agronomy banter.
