Episode Summary

Mike and the Kevins are Kick' N It this episode with Adam Banks, Pioneer Field Agronomist in Kearney, Nebraska, and talking about finishing strong late in the season. With modern hybrids grain filling later and later, that late component of water appears more important than it was even a decade ago. The group talks about what can be done this late in the game to influence yield and what that might cost in relation to what it will produce.
