Harvest is wrapping up, which means it's time to plan for next season. Finalize next year’s cropping plan by Thanksgiving so you can relax during the holidays. Inspect equipment—especially the planter, since it sets your yield potential. And find winter meetings to attend for new ideas and insights. Use this time to turn harvest notes into next year’s profits. – Matt Long, EZ Ag. Grow your Yield. Grow your Legacy. Grow Strong with Axis Seed.

Flying by the seat of your pants in ag? That’s a fast track to lost yield and profit. This week’s blog dives into the Max Yield System—Red Barn’s proven, field-by-field planning approach built around five key touchpoints to help you manage risk, maximize ROI, and take control of the season before it even starts.

Are you applying nitrogen for ROI—or just because it’s what you’ve always done? In the final part of our soil fertility series, we explore how Pivot Bio’s Proven 40 helps spoon-feed nitrogen efficiently, challenge outdated practices, and rethink what yield success really means. It’s time to test your program, question tradition, and take control of your fertility plan.

Soil tests aren't perfect, but they’re powerful. In Part I of our series on fertility, we’re diving into why embracing the inconsistency of soil sampling is key to better input decisions. Your fertility plan should be based on real data—not guesswork. A good test is one of the cheapest, most valuable tools on your farm.

Weeds compete for light, water, and nutrients—costing you yield. With a larger weed seed bank this year and an early start to the season, planning ahead is more important than ever. The Max Yield System helps you make weed control decisions early, so you're not scrambling mid-season. Count on three passes, plan for four, and let’s build a plan that kills—not just injures—your toughest weeds.
