Darren and Brian explain what Bt corn is, how to do common fertility conversions when reading a soil test, and how to maximize tonnage and quality in your alfalfa crop.

Darren Hefty explains how to apply micronutrients using either variable rate technology or making multiple passes.

Brian and Darren discuss ways to maximize your alfalfa tonnage.

Brian and Darren go over some of the common conversions you should know when reading a soil test and making fertility decisions.
