12 Days of Nutrients - Day 10: Iron

A Better Way To Farm Podcast

Show Notes

Iron may be small, yet it plays a big role in how your crops grow, stay green, and fill the bin. If your plants look pale, weak, or slow early in the season, iron could be the missing link.

Today, we’ll hear how strong roots, smart testing, and targeted foliar applications help keep crops dark green, growing strong, and producing sugar when it counts.

🌱 What You’ll Learn:

• Why iron is key to chlorophyll, photosynthesis, and sugar production • How to spot iron deficiency early before yield slips away • Why high pH soils make iron hard for plants to use
