Gail Stratman, Regional Technical Services Manager for FMC, joins us to talk about FMC products, benefits, disease control, and more.

Sabrina and Rusty visit the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) Plugfest at Commodity Classic. Hear from Andrew Oliver, Vice Chairman of AEF, and Ryan Milligan, North American Communications and Marketing Lead for AEF.From AEF:AEF MAKES AG TECH HISTORY WITH NEXT GENERATION ISOBUSHigh Speed ISOBUS Demonstrated for First Time at AEF PlugfestNEW ORLEANS (Mar 10, 2022) – Marking a milestone in ag-tech history, High Speed ISOBUS (HSI) was demonstrated for the first time by the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) at its North American 2022 Plugfest during the Commodity Classic trade show in New Orleans. With greater bandwidth and faster connection speed, roughly 4,000 times faster than the original technology, HSI will open new opportunities for innovation and serve the industry far into the future, as even more performance and automation is demanded."We are proud to see this major moment in the history of precision agriculture come to life by demonstrating HSI for the first time in the world," said Norbert Schlingmann, General Manager, AEF. "HSI will deliver greater precision for the future, and that precision will help reduce the amounts of fertilizer and chemicals, improve agronomy, and allow companies to offer products that support sustainability."The team demonstrated the new HSI network with digital cameras and monitors, as well as an implement and an existing tractor display.Originally unveiled 20 years ago, ISOBUS refers to the ISO 11783 standard "nervous system“ of agricultural equipment that seamlessly connects tractors to implements and aftermarket options such as displays and joysticks, etc. With ISOBUS, machines work together as a system better than each component can work on its own. The current ISOBUS delivers enough performance for today's applications while allowing precision ag software engineers to design HSI for the future."ISOBUS is still serving the industry very well and will continue to do so for years to come, but the industry has recognized that ISOBUS is holding back the development of far more demanding systems that aim for higher performance and accuracy of control," said Andrew Olliver, Vice Chairman, AEF. Examples of future technologies using HSI will include higher performance command and control at the row level on a large planter or for the individual nozzles on a sprayer; higher performance of User Interface to see the exact state of every row in real-time, whereas today the operator may see screen updates that are somewhat lagging; remote process viewing with more advanced digital cameras replacing the analog of yesteryear, easily integrated into an HSI system; enabling higher levels of automation; improving diagnostics and faster software updates; connectivity to other in-field machines using AEF Wireless Infield Communications, and more.AEF's annual Plugfest is co-located this year at the Commodity Classic in New Orleans, providing an opportunity for ag equipment software engineers from all over the world to test the compatibility of their ISOBUS products, putting aside competition and working together for the good of the agricultural industry. At the end of the event, attendees will have new data and a deep understanding of how to improve their products.For more information about AEF, please visit: www.aef-online.org.###The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF)The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) is an independent organization founded in 2008. Eight agriculture equipment manufacturers and three associations are working as core members together with 250 general members to improve cross-manufacturer compatibility of electronic and electric components in agricultural equipment, and to establish transparency about compatibility issues. Implementing international electronic standards is a cornerstone of their work and the AEF encourages the development and implementation of new technology. While the AEF’s intention is to enable mutually beneficial links between companies, the primary goal is to make work easier and provide economic benefits for their farming customers.

Today's #TechTuesday looks a bit different! We stopped at the DPH Bio booth at Commodity Classic last week to chat with Mick Messman. We got to talking about biological options, SP-1, and other technologies!

Steve Cote is a stockmanship expert from Idaho. He has traveled extensively putting on stockmanship clinics in the vein of Bud Williams. He joined me to talk about a day of stockmanship. We pick up this conversation where we started last week with Dr. Tom Noffsinger. We start from the corral and talk about our approach to getting cattle through the facilities in which we find ourselves.

Ted Seifried joins us once again for #MarketMonday! We continue to discuss Ukrainian farming news, Commodity Classic wrap up, soybean demand, and more.

Alright I know that the title of this podcast seems all over the place. Tyler and I actually had zero agenda going into this episode. We just started talking about our operations and how we schedule our feeding and grazing. It then it went into our mineral programs and how those have evolved. We finish the podcast by chatting about how important it is to have a spouse who is supportive of our ranching side hustles. How they do so many things for us so we can explore our passion. One of the biggest keys to a successful ranching side hustle is to first have a successful marriage. Sign up for my email list here

This week, Katharine and Val are back in the same space, recording together. We take a look at how we are and aren't involved in our agricultural organizations, and discuss how they may be struggling to speak to our generation. We walk carefully, because these organizations are institutional and have served vital purposes over the years, but also ask the question of how can they be more? How can we be more through them? As noted several times in the episode, we don't have answers, and so come to you, our audience, for your perspective and thoughts on this topic. Get in touch with us! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and directly at talktous@millennialag.com. Thanks as always for listening, and we look forward to the conversation this episode will start.

Ben Voss of Raven Industries joins Tanner and Delaney at Commodity Classic to talk more about autonomy, new tech, and more!

Welcome back y'all! We had some sound issues with Kys mic this episode, darn rural everything. Sorry about that. Bare with us as we fix that for next episode. But we are BACK!! Stay tuned for 2 episodes a month from us. Do us a favor! Head to one of our Instagram pages @kylieepperson_ or @farmwifeguru and tell us how you have cultivated courage this year so far. Brag on yourself and be in the moment of celebration for YOU!
