January 5, 2023
Our 12-day series focuses on the 12 days of nutrients and although today it has come to an end, we are still excited all throughout this year as we share not only about macros and micros but are going to tackle deeper focus into agricultural innovations and further into soil health so you’ll see what it can do to better our yields. You shouldn’t miss the last of this series now, so listen, learn, and apply! It’s the 12th and last day today and we are going to deal with all things related to Zinc! 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 innovative farming methods that focus on soil health to produce yield increase in spite and despite.
Please spread the word about us with your friends, neighbors, 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.
