12 Days of Nutrients: Day 3 - Potassium
December 15, 2021
Our 12-day series will focus on the 12 nutrients of Christmas and we are so excited to share not only about macros and micros but are going to delve deep into agricultural science and what it can do for our row crops. This series better not be missed, so listen, learn, and apply! It’s the 3rd day today and Potassium day has arrived!. Let’s go right in … 😉
Who wouldn’t want a better farm life that runs smoothly no matter what the weather is?! Every farmer dreams of it but truth be told, challenges can knock most of our determination to dream big for our farms. Worry not because the A Better Way to Farm team is working hard to bring core tips to build sustainable agriculture for each of our hardworking farmers out there.
We would appreciate it if you share us with a friend and your fellow farmers. Rate us in iTunes or other platforms you’re in so we could better spread the good stuff around. Thank you all so much for tuning in. The future of agriculture lies ahead of us!
