160: 12 Days of Nutrients - Day 10 Manganese
January 2, 2023
Now, we are on the 10th day special of a 12-day feature on the 12 days of nutrients and we are as excited to share not only about macros and micros but are going to 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! It is Manganese day so, let’s go right in … 😉
In the world of agriculture, it always matters whom you listen to. What they say should always be what’s good for you and your farm and not the other way around. The team at A Better Way to Farm cares for what’s right for you. We have always intended at helping farmers improve profits and increase yields. Our subjects not only cover soil health but 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. We have a great future ahead of us in agriculture!
