• The conversation involves Dave Hermesch from Coweta, Southeast of Tulsa, who discusses the impact of hot, dry weather on local agriculture. Due to the adverse weather conditions, approximately 1,500 acres of soybeans are expected not to yield a harvest. However, there is a chance to salvage about 600 acres if the weather conditions improve.

• The discussion also touches on the practice of seeding winter wheat between cotton rows using airplanes to avoid disturbing the cotton, and the potential benefits of flying seeds before rain to ensure successful growth.

• Additionally, the conversation covers the use of rye as a cover crop, with specific practices mentioned in Northeast Kansas, like flying rye onto corn ground before the corn is harvested. The importance of cover crops in areas susceptible to dry conditions is emphasized.
