On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, we go inside the 2025 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill. Our first stop takes us to the Syngenta tent, where a roots demonstration showcases the impact of a brand-new solution for nematode defense.

Technology editor Noah Newman catches up with Warrensburg, Ill., no-tiller Dave Brown for an update on the 2025 growing season and some of his top takeaways from the show.

Associate editor Mackane Vogel checks in from the Green Cover cover crop plots for an up-close look at a new product from Terraform that maps compaction in no-till systems.

Later in the episode, Precision Planting PTI Farm Manager Jason Webster reveals the no. 1 “money loser” at the research farm. In the Ahead of the Curve segment, InnerPlant showcases a first-of-its-kind platform that helps farmers detect early stress in soybeans. Plus, Charles City, Va., no-tiller and strip-tiller David Hula receives a big-time honor on the main stage.
