Synopsis

Boe Clausen is a second-generation farmer in Eastern Washington. His parents immigrated from Denmark and established Stokrose Farm in 1981. Initially focused on vegetable seed production, the farm diversified into alfalfa, hay, corn, wheat, and cattle. Boe now manages Stokrose Farm alongside his siblings.  Boe's shift towards foliar applications, reduced nitrogen usage, and strategic nutrient management have improved crop health, reduced disease and insect pressure, and enhanced soil fertility. In 2022, he grew 250-bushel corn with only 20 lbs of nitrogen. In this episode, Boe and John discuss: The role of technology in modern farming practices Using molybdenum, sulfur, and nitrogen foliar applications How cover crops and crop rotations can build soil health The impact of incorporating a feedlot into his operation Using sap analysis to guide nutrition applications Additional Resources To learn more about Stokrose Farm, please visit: https://www.stokrose.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is th
