Just because you listen to the show, doesn’t mean you have to agree with host Peter Johnson — in fact, he loves constructive disagreement! From the value (or lack thereof) of horse manure to brown wheat, Wheat Pete addresses constructive criticism as well as questions (soybeans, measuring sulphur, red clover in canola) in another energetic episode of the show.
