I hear about a lack of young folks in ag My dad instilled in me to get a good education, marry money, and find another way of living. He didn’t want a life of struggle for his daughter. I only did one of those things, but the old guy was sure proud when I wanted to come back

You might be invested in learning if cover crops ~degrade weed seeds~ in the soil BUT you’re probably not “individually count 31,250 pigweed seeds” invested THATS OK!! Cause we are!! #covercropVSweedseedbank #covercrop
