Wondering how your planting date impacts your bottom line? Which seed performed better across your soil types? Need help knowing which fields need scouting right now vs. those that can wait? Granular Insights can unlock all of this and more. Listen to Allison, Krista, Matt, and Nicky share why enrolling in Insights can benefit all season long.
Starting off 2021 strong with field by field planning. Catch up with Matt Montgomery, Allison Plahn, Krista Schwarze, and new to The Digital Acre, Nicky Smith.
We're back! Harvest is wrapping up and now it's time to think about what's next. Is tillage just what you do after harvest or are there other considerations? Matt Montgomery, Allison Plahn, and Krista Schwarze talk about fall tillage and jump into some avocado and Catch-22 rabbit holes.
In this episode, Allison, Krista, and Matt explore how to begin determining whether the choices made before and during the season will pay off at harvest and how growers can use the Pioneer Seeds app and Granular Insights to help make those determinations. But, most importantly, we here at The Digitial Acre want everyone affected by the derecho in early August to know that our hearts and thoughts go out to you.

Crops are getting planted and you may be thinking about applying spring nitrogen. If asking "How much do I need?" or "When should I apply?", you'll often hear, "It depends." Join your Digital Acre crew, Krista Schwarze, Allison Plahn, and Matt Montgomery with special guest, TC Huffman as they dive into all things nitrogen.
It's springtime and planters are rolling in much of the Corn Belt. But, like the old tale of Goldilocks, what's the planting depth that's "just right" for corn and soybeans? Listen to your Digital Acre team, Krista Schwarze, Matt Montgomery, and Allison Plahn talk about setting the right depth for your planter.
