By the time 2 p.m. Central (noon Pacific) rolls around each day, you have had plenty of opportunities to learn about the grain markets, the farm news and the weather, but how about your agronomic questions?

Join Darren and me each weekday at 2 p.m. Central (noon Pacific) for the one-hour Ag PhD Radio Show.  We don’t talk about grain markets, farm news or the weather, but we do talk about agronomic issues, how to increase yields, and how to earn more money on your farm each year.

We also take your phone calls, e-mails, and Twitter questions each day during the show.  The Ag PhD Radio phone line is 844-442-4743 (844-44-Ag PhD).  The e-mail is radio@agphd.com, and our Twitter accounts are @brianhefty and @darrenhefty.  Since we do the show live each day, you can get an immediate response to any question you have or you can offer up some comments on either our main topic or anything else of interest to you on your farm.

While you are in your tractor or sprayer this spring, we invite you to listen to Ag PhD Radio each weekday on SiriusXM channel 80.  If you don’t have SiriusXM in your farm equipment, you can either use your cell phone or you can buy a radio at siriusxm.com that can plug right into your in-cab system.  Also, come to the Ag PhD Field Day on our farm on July 24.  We will be giving away LOTS of SiriusXM radios for free that day.  If you had SiriusXM but let your subscription expire, I have talked to many people who have gotten deals like $25 for 6 months.  Just call SiriusXM and they will likely give you a good offer.

If you haven’t caught the Ag PhD Radio Show yet, we have a live show each day where we answer your questions, talk to great guests during our Back 40 time, feature a Pest of the Day, have an Ag PhD Mailbag segment and talk about how to raise better and more profitable crops.

If you have been listening to our daily radio updates over the years on regular radio, we will continue to do that, but we also hope you tune in each weekday at 2 p.m. Central (noon Pacific) to channel 80 on SiriusXM for our one-hour, live Ag PhD Radio Show!
