Introducing The Whole Farm Podcast by CHONEX
We’re excited to announce the launch of The Whole Farm Podcast, a new CHONEX series focused on practical, whole-farm conversations that help growers make better decisions—from soil health to nutrient management to long-term profitability.
Our first episode is now live, and it sets the tone for what this podcast is all about: real-world insight, trusted voices, and tools farmers can actually use.
Episode 1: Practical Nutrient Management for the Whole Farm
In our debut episode, CHONEX brings together leaders in digital agronomy, nutrient management, and regenerative practice adoption for a grounded discussion on modern nutrient management planning.
This session explores how farmers can better organize soil and plant analysis data, use precision nitrogen strategies, and leverage EQIP 590 funding—without adding complexity or friction to their operation.
Rather than theory, the conversation centers on what works in the field and how to scale better decisions across the entire farm.
Key Topics Covered
Our guests dive deep into four timely and highly practical themes:
Decision support at scale
How farmers can “get it right” using digital tools that minimize touchpoints and simplify decision-making.Adoption and organization of regenerative practices
Why structure, data organization, and planning are critical to making regenerative systems work long-term.Alternative product decision support and evaluation
How to evaluate biologicals and alternative inputs with confidence, using data—not guesswork.Yield goals: fact or fiction?
A candid discussion on realistic yield targets, economics, and how nutrient management planning should support profitability—not just bushels.

Why We Launched The Whole Farm Podcast
At CHONEX, we believe farm success depends on looking at the operation as a connected system—soil, plants, nutrients, water quality, economics, and family legacy.
The Whole Farm Podcast is designed to support that mindset by:
Sharing practical insights from trusted industry leaders
Highlighting tools that improve nitrogen efficiency and soil health
Helping farmers navigate programs, practices, and products with confidence
Supporting long-term, profitable, and sustainable farm operations
Each episode is a conversation made available on demand, so you can listen when and how it fits your schedule.
