John PetrovskiHOST
I'm your host, John Petrovsky, Education Manager in the Green Section.
John PetrovskiHOST
In this episode, we catch up with Chris Hartwiger, Green Section Director of Agronomy, to get his expert insight on putting green data collection.
John PetrovskiHOST
Whether it's measuring green speed, clipping volume, soil moisture, or organic matter, Chris takes us through all the key things to keep in mind so you get the best data to make the best decisions.
John PetrovskiHOST
Hope you enjoy our conversation.
John PetrovskiHOST
It's a beautiful day in Pinehurst, and we're so glad to speak with you today.
John PetrovskiHOST
Before we get started, a lot of our listeners, especially here in the Southeast, will be familiar with you.
John PetrovskiHOST
But for those who aren't, maybe you could tell us a little bit about your background and your current role as Director of Agronomy for the Green Section.
Chris HartwigerGUEST
John, thank you so much for the invitation to be a part of the podcast.
RodHOST
Was that valuable in terms of your overall knowledge with soil health and farming? Because you'd already learned from a lot of other sources about farming and started to just read some stuff and study some stuff.
RodHOST
But what happened when you came to that first Fundamentals of Agronomy training?
JoeGUEST
It was very eyeopening.
JoeGUEST
Like you guys always preach, you need to go to more than one because you get bombarded with so much information in two days that you, it's hard to comprehend everything.

Welcome back.
Peter JohnsonHOST
Today, in some fields, 30% of the field is yellow and the plants are dying from Phytophthora root rot.
Peter JohnsonHOST
What does that do to yield? So Josh, unfortunately, and we talked about this on Agronomy Monday as well, but at the end of the day, it's what stage is the bean at? If the bean is at R5, where you have flat pods, the seed is starting to fill.
Peter JohnsonHOST
You can tell that there's four seeds in that pod, two seeds, whatever.
Peter JohnsonHOST
The pod is flat and the plant dies, there's zero yield.
Peter JohnsonHOST
All right, there's lots of questions around planting wheat.
Peter JohnsonHOST
You can plant wheat too early.
Peter JohnsonHOST
If you want that discussion, please go to the Agronomy Monday.
Peter JohnsonHOST
Lindsay and I had that chat.

If you get to R6, so now the seed isn't mature, but there are big seeds in there.

Lindsay SmithHOST
Well, there's absolutely nothing we can do about the weather, but there's plenty of things we can do to make sure that our fields stay in the best shape possible when weird and wild weather comes rolling through.
Lindsay SmithHOST
That's what we're gonna talk about on today's Agronomic Monday with Peter "We Pete" Johnson.
Lindsay SmithHOST
We've also got Mark McLain on to talk about, uh, can we send robots out to spoon feed the corn crop? Uh, that is all on today's show as well.
Lindsay SmithHOST
We're also gonna talk about some green stem issues, some pre-harvest and desiccation decisions, and a little bit about the role of sulfur in alfalfa production.
Lindsay SmithHOST
That's all on Agronomic Monday.
