Pivoting Crop Strategies After the Storm: How to profitably adjust your crop mix in the wake of weather problems

Matt Miles can’t catch a break weather-wise as the rains continue to pound his part of the Arkansas delta. Regardless, farming is farming and it’s time to make some adjustments.  Matt has decided it’s too late for replant corn to provide much yield potential. So, he’s reducing his already reduced corn acreage and switching to soybeans via a replant. He explains to Damian the practices and product choices he made preemptively allowing for the switch. Also, the re-plan: marketing of bushels, acquisition of new seed and crop inputs, and grain storage adaptations he’s made. If you’re looking for ideas on how to profitably adjust your crop mix in the wake of weather problems, start with this episode!
