In this Podcast Extra episode, join John at Acres Eco Ag 2025, where he hosted a "Coffee with John Kempf" session, answering questions from the audience. In this episode, a wide range of topics are discussed, including:

• The use of foliar-applied low-biuret urea to significantly reduce a crop's total nitrogen requirement .

• The potential for amino acid forms of nitrogen to replace large amounts of conventional mineral nitrogen .

• Why plants fail to absorb or metabolize calcium efficiently when soil boron levels are low .

• Recommendations for conducting sap analysis every 7 to 10 days to identify nutrient needs .

• Optimal spray timing and the "point of deliquescence" to keep droplets liquid on leaves longer .

• The necessity of using clean water free of carbonates, such as rainwater or reverse osmosis water, for effective foliar sprays .

• AEA's new product, Pinion, which stimulates the leaf microbiome and activates plant immune pathways .

• Strategies for decompacting soil by building organic matter and mycorrhizal fungi rather than just chemical balancing .
