December 27, 2022
Our 12-day series focuses on the 12 days of nutrients and we are so excited to share not only about macros and micros but are going to dig deeper into agricultural science based on the best agricultural books and references and see what it can do to better our yields. You shouldn’t miss this series, so listen, learn, and apply! It’s the 8th day today and we are going to deal with all things related to Copper! Let’s go … 😉
If you want a fair share of support in growing your crops the right way, you have come to the right place to listen and learn. The A Better Way to Farm team has always aimed to give useful tips and updates to all our dear listeners. We only want what’s best for you and your farm. Our goal has always been to develop a way of farming that is innovative and focuses on soil health to produce yield increase in spite and despite.
Please spread the word about us with your friends, neighbours, and fellow farmers. Let us know how we are doing on iTunes or on other platforms you use to listen to so that we can better spread the good stuff around. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
