Although it is the last week of March, the weather has cooled down and is average for this time of year. That means a lot of questions are pouring in as farmers prepare to head to the field.
In this week’s Wheat Pete Words, host Peter Johnson has to win the bet. We learn about phosphorous concentrations and sources, and we all get life lessons about what to do between graduating high school and starting a farm (hint: get off the farm! )
Do you have a question you’d like Wheat Pete to answer or send you your field results? Do you agree with what he said? Do you object? Leave a message at 1-888-746-3311, send a tweet (@wheatpete), or send an email to: (email protected).
