Show Notes
What if micronutrients are more than tools for growing bigger crops…What if they play a major role in building stronger soil biology?
In this episode of A Better Way to Farm, Andrew sits down with farmer and researcher Curt to talk about how micronutrients influence the living system beneath your feet.
This episode goes beyond yield and focus on creating healthier, more efficient system that works for years to come.
What You'll Learn:
Why zinc, manganese, and boron are critical for soil biology. How micronutrients support soil microbes and nutrient cycling. Why testing should guide every fertility decision.
Key Takeaways!
🌾 Micronutrients help power the microbes that recycle nutrients, break down residue, support root growth, and improve efficiency across the farm. 🧪 The goal is not to apply more products. The goal is to understand what your field needs through proper testing and then make informed decisions that build both soil health and profitability.

In this episode, Andrew sits down with a first-generation farmer from Minnesota who talks about how he started questioning the dry broadcast program he was using. Wyatt then began researching agronomy and found a different approach through a field day. His story is a great reminder that farming is always a learning process.
