In this episode, Sunrise FS agronomist Eric Beckett, CCA, examines how increasing weather variability is reshaping agronomic decision making across the Midwest. He discusses the need to reassess traditional tillage and nutrient application strategies to improve efficiency, soil health and risk management under windier conditions. Beckett also addresses the rapid adoption of drone-based application and urges a measured approach as the technology continues to evolve. He emphasizes the importance of understanding how these systems are being operated, including application setup, carrier volume, flight parameters and data transparency, and encourages farmers to have informed conversations with applicators to ensure adequate coverage, label compliance and overall performance in the field.
