What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
