Mother Nature is taking her sweet time in bringing in spring, but slowly and surely we are marching towards putting crop in the ground.
For this week’s episode of Wheat Pete’s Word, host Peter Johnson rifles through several agronomy answers, including: what to do with cover crops that didn’t die, why sulphur matters and why sometimes it doesn’t, why pop up fertilizer can slow down germination but is still worth it and so much more!
Have a question you’d like Wheat Pete to address or some field results to send in? Agree/disagree with something he’s said? Leave him a message at 1-888-746-3311, send him a tweet (@wheatpete), or email him at [email protected].
