On this episode of Breaking Barriers, Randy Dowdy and David Hula discuss the decisions that can make or break a growing season, from establishing successful cover crops to selecting the right corn hybrids for next year.

The conversation covers cover crop planting methods, managing weed pressure, and why proper seed-to-soil contact matters. Randy and David also share lessons from this year's hybrid performance, explaining why farmers should evaluate on-farm strip trials, compare seed brands, and avoid putting too much acreage into unproven hybrids.

Plus, they discuss tightening wheat seed supplies, changing grain market conditions, harvest results, and the importance of making informed marketing decisions. As harvest season ramps up, Randy shares a personal accident that serves as a powerful reminder to prioritize safety around farm equipment and in the field.

Tune in for practical insights on managing risk, making smarter agronomic decisions, and staying safe during one of the busiest times of the year.
