A Better Way To Farm Podcast

Most farmers think adding liquid fertilizer to their planter takes a huge investment. That’s not always true.

In this episode, we sit down with equipment expert Jeff and break it down in a way that actually makes sense. Real setups, real numbers, and what you actually need to get started without wasting money. We walk through different in-furrow options, what they cost, and how to choose the right system for your operation so you’re not overbuilding or overpaying.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

How to get started with an in-furrow system for around $300 per row
The pros and cons of electric vs ground-driven pumps
When it makes sense to step up to systems like FurrowJet or 2x2 fertilizer
If you’ve been putting off liquid because you think it’s too expensive or complicated, this will give you a clear, practical path forward.

In this episode, we explain why many fertilizer programs fail and how you can make improvements.

If you want to improve fertilizer efficiency and increase your yield potential, this episode will show you practical steps you can take this season.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why fertility programs stop working
How to improve fertilizer efficiency
Why early plant nutrition matters

In this episode, Andrew talks with a Minnesota farmer who decided he was done guessing. He was tired of writing checks and hoping things would work out. He wanted to understand why he was doing what he was doing. Four years later, his yields are up in a big way.

In this episode, we cover:

How soil testing helps you stop guessing and start making smart choices
Why fixing pH can unlock yield you are already paying for
How foliar feeding and in furrow systems can raise yields without raising costs

There’s a lot of noise in agriculture right now. Big promises. Shiny shortcuts. That’s not what this episode is about.
