This month, Caitlin is rereleasing a timely and relevant episode. Take a look back on episode six from season one, Corn Pests with Tracey Baute (originally aired in February 2022).

In this episode, Tracey Baute, Field Crops Entomologist with OMAFRA, joins me to discuss all things corn pests! We’ll tackle hard-hitting questions like “What’s going on with European corn borer?” “How will climate change affect corn pest populations?” “What’s the best strategy for selecting an effective Bt-trait package?” and more.

In this episode, Heather Darby joins Caitlin for a conversation on cover cropping opportunities in soybeans. Heather is a professor and agronomic and soils specialist for the University of Vermont Extension, where she is involved with implementing many research and outreach programs in the areas of fuel, forage and grain production systems in New England. They discuss where the producers she works with have found opportunities for cover cropping in the soybean year and how to make the most out of seasonal constraints.

Funding for this podcast was provided in part by Agriculture and Agrifood Canada through the On-Farm Climate Action Fund.
