Farm4Profit Podcast

Farm4Profit sat down with Carl, one of Performance Livestock Analytics' earliest customers, to hear how the platform has evolved from a simple recordkeeping tool into a critical management system for his custom feeding business.

Carl explains how switching from paper records eliminated hours of office work, improved billing accuracy, simplified relief feeding, and gave nutritionists, veterinarians, and cattle owners real-time access to important production data.

The conversation also explores how digital records improve decision-making, why accurate data builds stronger customer relationships, and how emerging AI tools could shape the future of feedlot management.

Topics include:

Custom feedlot management

Performance Livestock Analytics

Feed truck automation

Digital feeding records

Relief feeding

Customer reporting

Elanco Benchmark

Feedlot profitability

Cattle data management

AI in livestock production

Current cattle market outlook

Building long-term customer trust

If you're looking to improve efficiency, reduce paperwork, and make more informed decisions in your cattle operation, Carl's firsthand experience demonstrates how technology can become one of the most valuable tools on the farm.

Today's farms rely on technology more than ever.

From grain dryers and irrigation pivots to livestock systems, security cameras, accounting software, and smartphones, nearly every part of a modern farming operation is connected.

That also makes agriculture one of the fastest-growing targets for cybercriminals.

Chris from Tech Support Farm returns to Farm4Profit to discuss how farms can better protect themselves from ransomware, phishing scams, compromised credit cards, malware, and attacks on connected equipment.

The conversation covers real-world examples—including Tanner's own experience with fraudulent credit card charges—and explains how remote monitoring, endpoint detection, password management, secure business email, mobile device management, and network monitoring work together to reduce risk.

The episode also explores:

Business email security

Password managers

Public Wi-Fi risks

Phishing scams

Credit card fraud

Remote monitoring

Endpoint detection (EDR)

Mobile device management

Irrigation and grain dryer security

Data backups

Disaster recovery

Cyber insurance

Farm technology infrastructure

AI and digital threats

Whether you operate a family farm or a multi-location business, this episode offers practical advice that could save your operation from significant financial loss and downtime.

Every season farmers face the same expensive questions:

Should I spray fungicide?

Does this field really need more nitrogen?

Which fields deserve my attention first?

How do I know the recommendation is actually right?

At Tech Hub LIVE, Farm4Profit sits down with Kristine White, CEO of Spornado, and Jackson Stansell, CEO of Sentinel Ag, to explore two innovative technologies designed to answer those questions with data.

Kristine explains how Spornado captures airborne fungal spores before disease symptoms ever appear, allowing growers to make preventative fungicide decisions weeks earlier than traditional scouting. The conversation also dives into fungicide resistance testing, predictive disease modeling, and the future of automated disease alerts.

Jackson discusses Sentinel Ag's satellite-powered nitrogen management platform, which combines imagery, weather, soil characteristics, and proprietary calibration plots to help growers determine where—and whether—additional nitrogen is actually needed. The discussion expands into water management, nutrient efficiency, manure applications, and how AI could reshape agronomic decision-making.

The conversation also explores:

Disease forecasting

Satellite imagery

AI in agriculture

Crop scouting

Fungicide timing

Nitrogen management

Water quality

Retail agronomy

ROI on new technology

Data-driven farming

Startup innovation

The future of precision agriculture

If your goal is making smarter decisions before writing another input check, this episode is packed with ideas worth considering.

Nematodes may be hidden underground, but they can have a major impact on the long-term productivity of orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops.

In this What's Working in Ag segment, Daniel Abruzzini of Corteva joins Farm4Profit to discuss Salibro, an innovative nematicide that's changing how growers manage root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes in perennial cropping systems.

Unlike traditional fumigation practices performed before planting, Salibro offers growers the flexibility to make in-season chemigation applications through existing irrigation systems, helping protect valuable orchards throughout their productive lifespan.

Daniel also shares insights into California specialty crop production, including almonds, walnuts, grapes, citrus, leafy vegetables, brassicas, tomatoes, and more, while explaining why healthy root systems are critical for maximizing production over decades.

Topics include:

What nematodes are and why they matter

Traditional fumigation versus in-season management

Salibro chemigation applications

Root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes

Orchard establishment and longevity

California specialty crop production

Irrigation and chemigation systems

Soil sampling and treatment thresholds

Root health and yield protection

Long-term orchard profitability

Whether you farm orchards, vineyards, specialty crops, or simply want to learn about emerging crop protection technologies, this episode offers a practical look at one of agriculture's newest tools for underground pest management.
