In this episode of Breaking Barriers, Total Acre founders Randy Dowdy and David Hula unpack key agronomic lessons from recent field visits in Kentucky and Michigan—where heat stress and planter issues are top of mind. They break down persistent crop management challenges, including inconsistent planting depths and the impact of tight tassel wrap on corn performance. Learn how targeted fertility strategies like 2x2 and in-furrow applications can combat nutrient deficiencies, and why protecting critical leaves late in the season could be the difference between good and great yields. Whether you’re chasing records or improving margins, this episode will help you think differently and farm more precisely.
