Our final conversation from Husker Harvest Days brings together the REDSTAR team and grower Jesse Williams to talk through the 2026 growing season and what it means heading into 2027. The conversation covers dry conditions, late-season tar spot, fungicide timing, nitrogen management, cover crops, soil testing, residue breakdown and the decisions growers can make this fall to prepare for next year. A real conversation from the field about this season and what’s ahead.

On this episode of The RED Effect Podcast, Chad Moyer sits down with Betsy Krueger and Trent Jansen of RED RISK STRATEGIES to discuss the current grain markets, risk management heading into harvest, crop insurance and opportunities for the 2027 crop.

Listen in as they break down what producers should be watching and how to build a risk management plan around their individual operation.

Agricultural drones are changing how growers approach crop protection, application efficiency and the future of farm technology.

On this episode of The RED Effect Podcast, Chad Moyer sits down with Austin Lueth of RED SOLUTIONS and Brian Sanders of Raptor Dynamic to talk about the rapid evolution of spraying drones and what that technology can mean for agriculture.

The conversation dives into Black Betty, a large-capacity spraying drone from Ceres Air, including its payload options, software, field efficiency and the infrastructure needed to put it to work. Austin and Brian also discuss what makes a successful drone operator, why proper training and ongoing support matter, and the importance of maintenance and best practices in the field.

Looking ahead, they explore where drone technology could go next, including greater autonomy, AI, crop health analytics, spot spraying and other ways drones could become an even bigger tool in the farm's toolbox.

It's a conversation about where ag drones are today, where they're headed, and why the people behind the technology matter just as much as the machine itself.
