Jason's 'Challenge-Coin-Earning' Presentation in Springfield MO -Plants Fix Dirt & Wild Health! Dec 04, 2024

In this episode, we share Jason's 2024 Springfield MO presentation that earned him a challenge coin from an American warrior in the crowd. Jason has noted, on numerous occasions, that this is the greatest 'thank you and recognition' that anyone could present and as many of you know, receiving a challenge coin from an American warrior is a great honor. Enjoy as Jason speaks to a welcoming Springfield MO crowd of farmers, ranchers and sportsmen about wild health, food plots, and 'the how and why' behind Dr. Rick Haney's now famous quote: "Plants fix dirt". Learn how Jason built the Drop-Tine Seed Co. and how his "citizen science" steers the product line. Jason discusses his discovery of "weak commodity seeds" that don't do well in healthy, regenerated, and biologially robust soils and he challenges his colleagues to focus on a new discipline of wildlife management known as Functional Ecology and Management - aimed at addressing the underlying causes of wildlife disease and ecological dysfunction...not merely addressing symptoms of the underlying causes. CWD is the perfect example!

Pennsylvania Deer Wars with PA State Rep. David Maloney Jan 24, 2024

Is the PA Game Commission telling the truth about PA hunters' approval of a Saturday opener to deer season...a policy move that changed 'decades old' hunting tradition in PA? What goes on behind the scenes of a state agency when politics trump biology? How does this affect you, the license-buying hunters? Is it really acceptable to send PA sportsmen's/women's money to California when it was earmarked for CWD management in PA? Politicians are hated and Jason's guest today certainly takes his fair share of shots from a certain segment of the PA outdoor community. Jason talks with PA State Rep. David Maloney about all of this and much more...Oh, and did Dave REALLY just say that the PGC is lying about the survey findings regarding the heated change to the traditional Monday-after-Thanksgiving opener? Yep, he sure did!

Glyphosate & Dr. Don Huber: EIGHT PLUS DECADES OF WISDOM Nov 30, 2022

87 year-old Glyphosate researcher, plant pathologist, retired U.S. Army Col. and Emeritus Professor (Purdue Univ)., Dr. Don Huber has been shot at, stabbed and beaten to a pulp during his storied investigative career merely because of his long-time involvement in research on the impacts of Glyphosate (RoundUp) on plant nutrition, disease and health. Hits have been taken out on him by researchers and industry thugs who are in the tank (follow the $$$) with large multinational organizations and the makers of synthetic chemicals such as RoundUp.

What Your Food Plots Eat with Dr. David Montgomery Jul 25, 2022

Jason talks in depth with Dr. David Montgomery about the relationship between soil health and food plot nutrient density. Listen as Jason and Dave entertain the underappreciated topic of food plot quantity vs. quality.

You ARE Over Fertilizing Your Food Plots! Jun 29, 2018

Temple, TX. The standard chemical soil test completely ignores the organic forms of expensive fertilizer inputs and the microbiology: Organic C, Organic N, Respiration.

Jason discusses "maternal effects" or the phenomenon often observed on well-managed properties that results in whitetails that express their full genetic potential. Joe tells of his success in managing his clover plot long term and his desire to keep it going forever. Winter hardy clover; frost seeding; Organic fertilizer and hunting giant whitetails with the bow in eastern Montana.

Forage Soybeans For Deer Jan 23, 2018

Jason interviews Brad Doyle http://www.eagleseed.com/ from the legendary soybean company: Eagle Seeds. Get your cliffs notes PhD in plant breeding as brad shares the differences between forage soybeans and conventional ag beans and how that relates to our whitetail food plot needs. Brad explains how you can double the total number of branches on a soybean plant (more grain!) and produce larger leaves that equate to more biomass for deer. More biomass equate to larger antlers. Learn about soybean maturity groups and which is best for your application. Brad and Jason discuss why soybeans that are bred to be green long after your farmers are brown and harvested equates to larger antlers and a forage crop that is known as the "King of Protein." We tell how tall, vining forage soybeans also serve as cover for mature bucks. Maximizing a bucks genetic potential for antler growth with forage. Some soybean companies advertise their products high oil content but brad discusses the physiological evidence that high soybean oil comes only at a cost of lower protein content: an inverse relationship! Learn about shatter resistance and does it really matter? Learn about deer research by Dr. Steve Demarais, Dr. Bronson Strickland and Dr. Marcus Lashley. Learn why its important to read seed bag labels. Maternal effects in whitetails. Jason discusses why he dislikes the over use of the "P" word: Preference. Brad offers the science behind why showing preference is a little more complicated than sitting in your stand and observing whitetails. Eagle offers conventional ag beans of all maturity groups as well as their famous forage beans.
