  • Farm Financial Benchmarking
    Jul 6 2023

    How well is your farm doing? In order to answer that question, there’s several things to establish first. What metrics best reflect the overall health of a farm? Cashflow? Unit Cost of Production? The amount you’re leveraged?

    What areas of your operation require improvement, and what do you tackle first to get the best ROI? How do you stack up against similar sized operations in your area, and what kind of expertise will you need to engage to answer all these questions?

    These are some of the key points that will be covered in AGvisorPRO’s upcoming June 2023 webinar. We will talk about the importance of having benchmarking tools in your toolbox, and how to think about all these statistics and the numbers when making decisions that impact your operation’s well being. .

    We will also be discussing the importance of farm peer groups and explore why.

  • 8. Handling a Tank Mix Nightmare With Rex Hopkins
    May 12 2023

    Well, no farmer ever wants to see it happen, but when luck has run dry in the tank, some pretty crazy things can happen when tank mixing chemicals for agriculture.

    This week on the AGvisorPRO app, a great question came in from a rather unlucky farmer who was dealing with crystallization and clogged filters in his system. One expert on the AGvisorPRO app in particular was really well suited to help this farmer out.

    On today's episode of The AGvisorPOD, our host (and CEO of AGvisorPRO) Rob Saik touches base with Rex Hopkins, who's forgotten more about fertilizer chemistry and application than any of us could ever hope to know.

    It's a great episode. Enjoy!
