    What You Plant Matters

    Seed quality is one of the biggest drivers of yield, yet it’s something you can’t see when you open the bag. In this episode, we break down what actually defines seed quality and why it matters once that seed hits the ground.From warm germ to cold germ, and how different field conditions expose risk, we walk through how seed quality impacts stand establishment, consistency, and ultimately bushels at harvest. We also get into how placing the right hybrid in the right field can reduce risk and improve performance across your farm.If you’re serious about building a better crop, this is a piece you can’t afford to overlook.Have questions about your seed plan or want help matching the right hybrids to your fields? Give Matt a call at 620-214-3414 or visit redbarnenterprises.com to get started.Tune in to the EZ Ag Podcast to keep building your Max Yield System and grow your yield, grow your legacy, grow strong.

    It Starts at the Planter

    In this episode of the EZAg Podcast, Matt Long kicks off a three-part series on the Top 5 Factors to producing a top crop by breaking down the first two: soil conditions at planting and seed placement.Matt walks through what to evaluate before the planter ever hits the field, focusing on soil temperature and moisture, and how those conditions directly impact germination and early plant development. He explains why planting into the right conditions is one of the few factors you can truly control and how getting it wrong can create problems you spend the rest of the season trying to fix.You’ll also hear how proper seed placement influences uniform emergence and plant development, from consistent depth to even spacing within the row. Matt shares practical insights on how small inconsistencies during the planter pass can lead to uneven competition, weaker root systems, and lost yield potential.If you’ve ever rushed into planting or overlooked the basics, this episode will challenge you to slow down, focus on the fundamentals, and build a stronger foundation for your crop.If you are interested in learning more, get in touch!https://www.redbarnenterprises.com/connectwithus620-872-4842

    Harvest Evaluation Within the Max Yield System

    In this episode of the EZAg Podcast, Matt Long continues the Max Yield System series by breaking down harvest evaluation and how it impacts every decision going into the next crop year.Matt answers real questions submitted by growers, with Jackson Lewis stepping in to ask them on their behalf. Together, they walk through why harvest evaluation is more than just a final yield number and how evaluating crop health, stand counts, weed pressure, and field variability can uncover opportunities to improve performance.You’ll hear how Axis Seed-Red Barn approaches field-by-field evaluation, why bushels per thousand should be paired with real plant counts, and how observations made in the combine can directly influence hybrid placement, fertility strategy, and crop protection plans. Matt also explains how small improvements year over year lead to stronger returns and a more consistent system.If you’ve been relying on yield maps alone, this episode will challenge you to dig deeper and use harvest as a tool to build a better plan for next season.If you are interested in learning more, get in touch!https://www.redbarnenterprises.com/connectwithus620-872-4842

    Building a Fertility Plan Within the Max Yield System

    In this episode of the EZAg Podcast, Matt Long continues the Max Yield System series by breaking down the fertility plan and how it connects with the crop plan, seed plan, and crop protection plan to drive both yield and return on investment.Matt answers real questions submitted by growers, with Jackson Lewis stepping in to ask them on their behalf. Together, they walk through how fertility decisions should be built around field history, soil test data, yield potential, and bushels per thousand goals instead of relying on blanket fertilizer programs across the farm.You’ll hear how Axis Seed-Red Barn approaches fertility timing, why later season “top off” applications can help maximize yield potential, and how in-season scouting and field evaluations help determine when it makes sense to keep investing in a crop. Matt also explains how the Max Yield System helps growers plan ahead while still leaving room to make smart decisions as conditions change throughout the growing season.If you’ve been wondering how fertility fits into the Max Yield System and how to align nutrients with real yield goals, this episode answers the questions growers are asking.If you are interested in learning more, get in touch!https://www.redbarnenterprises.com/connectwithus620-872-4842

    Max Yield System Part 3 - Fertility Plan

    Have you ever driven a vehicle without a gas gauge? Fertility planning without soil testing is just like that: you’re constantly topping off the tank without knowing how much is already there or how much you really need. Unlike a gas tank, soil can take on an endless amount of fertilizer, but over-application disrupts the biological processes and balances essential for healthy crops. https://www.redbarnenterprises.com/  [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084881770513  620-872-4842

    From the Combine Seat

    In the episode "From the Combine Seat," the focus is on the in-field experience during corn harvest and the factors that contribute to a successful yield. The episode emphasizes the importance of paying close attention to variability and consistency in crop growth, as these can signal both strengths and areas of improvement within a field. Matt discusses the significance of assessing yield while noting the impact of plant health indicators like stay-green characteristics and stalk strength, which contribute to overall intactness and harvest efficiency. The episode also gets into planter performance by exploring ear height, ear size, and plant spacing—factors that reflect how effectively the planter performed in ensuring uniform emergence and growth. Insights are shared on hybrid performance, considering metrics like bushels per 1,000 plants and how these relate to soil type and specific management practices. Matt also highlights the value of evaluating different hybrids under varying conditions to identify the best options for future seasons. Overall, "From the Combine Seat" provides practical guidance for farmers looking to refine their harvest process, optimize yields, and make data-driven decisions for the upcoming planting season. 620-872-4842 Send us an email
