In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we dive into fragipan soils—a major challenge impacting farmers across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee—with expert guests Dr. Murdock and Billy from AgX. Fragipan soils create a dense, compacted layer beneath the topsoil, restricting root growth and limiting access to nutrients and water, leading to significant yield loss.

We discuss the groundbreaking research from the University of Kentucky, where a 10-year study has explored using annual rye grass to break through the fragipan layer. Dr. Murdock and Billy explain how organic acids from rye roots help improve water infiltration, release trapped nutrients, and enhance crop yields—leading to real-world results of 160-220 bushel yields and even 300 bushels in NCGA trials.

Tune in to learn about innovative soil management strategies, products like Upward and Octane, and how farmers can start implementing these solutions to overcome fragipan challenges and boost profitability!
