148: Questions You Need to Ask Before Applying Dry Broadcast This Fall
November 21, 2022
This week’s episode features an old-timer friend of ours, Preston Grobe who will stir the soil for us and talk about the questions we need to ask before applying dry broadcast this fall. Of course, we only want what’s best for our farm operations so we need to ensure we only employ efficient practices in our farm management. We need to do a little introspection with ourselves so we stop making the same mistakes all over again and make things even harder than it already is. What are you waiting for? Let’s go tune in!
Greetings fellow farmer listeners! In honor of all our devoted listeners, we are sharing with you another episode of inspiring farm concepts this week. Since its inception, A Better Way to Farm has always strived to do more and better to support our co-farmers and owners through all of the farm seasons, not only in farm productions and improvements but also in concrete and viable life tips and insights.
