How New Formulator Alliance Could Evolve Input Technologies

In today’s episode, come along on the road with me as I travel across parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania to visit 3 different farmers who are working with cover crops and no-till in unique ways. Our first stop in part 1 of this journey took us to Jim Hershey’s farm in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.
