159: 12 Days of Nutrients - Day 9 Iron
December 29, 2022
Now, we are on the 9th day special of a 12-day feature on the 12 days of nutrients and today we're going to talk about iron. Let’s dig deep into agricultural science, and proven methods, and see how they can help grow well our crops. You better be sticking to this series, listen, learn, and apply! Let’s go right in …
There is always a difference between whom you listen to in agriculture. Regardless of what they say, what's good for you and your farm should always take precedence. We at A Better Way to Farm want to help you make informed decisions about your farm. Our goal has always been to help farmers increase profits and yields. Our subjects cover soil health and go as far as farm machinery, farm tech, and innovation for the future of farming and of the future generations of American farmers.
We would appreciate it if you could share us with a friend and your fellow farmers. Rate us on iTunes or other platforms you’re on so we could better spread the good stuff around. Thank you all so much for tuning in. This 2023, it's going to be a great year for agriculture!
