This episode features 4 members of Bane-Welker's Precision team along with Co-Alliance agronomist Darren Wiatt. They discuss the simple checklists farmers should go through to better prepare for harvest and how harvest procedures directly effect the following planting season. As we all have experienced, technology continues to change the landscape of agriculture, and as a result it has also changed the nature of dealership/agronomist/farmer relationships. Hear how dealerships like Bane-Welker and agronomy specialists like Co-Alliance work together to best serve the farmer's needs. Finally, what kind of podcast would it be if we didn't hit on some of the team's favorite products we believe many farmers should be taking advantage of? Many of the team's favorite and least favorite precision guidance solutions are divulged. Thanks for listening!

Darren Doane

This episode we had the pleasure of talking with Darren Doane. This man has put in the hard work for decades, directing close to 500 music videos with the likes of Shinedown, Jason Mraz, The Zac Brown Band, Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, Blink 182, and many many more. Growing up with a father who worked in Hollywood, Darren got to see the blue-collar side of the film industry while having the opportunity to rub elbows with the greats (John Wayne gave Darren his first pair of cowboy boots). As successful as Darren has been, a year ago he realized a major shift had happened and he and his business were left in the dust. Even with his outstanding resume, in a word, Darren had become 'irrelevant.' Join us as we talk with him about how he had to "fire himself" and rebuild his business from the ground up by utilizing one of the most innovative forms of communication in human history--social media.

Joe Mills

When a local farmer is willing to go by the name, "The Village Idiot" and "The Hippie Farmer" on Twitter and is able to gain over ten thousand followers as such, he's basically begging for us to invite him on the podcast. So we did. However, there's far more to discuss with the man behind the Twitter name than social media. Joe Mills is a local farmer who is thinking strategically about the market for organic farming and in 2015 dove head first into that world. Listen in as Phil and Matthew have a fun conversation with this forward thinking farmer.
