This week we has the pleasure of visiting with Dr. Derrell Peel, OSU Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist.

His continued love of learning and fascination with global agriculture has lead him on trips all over the world. We also dive into one of his newest ventures, the Farm to Market Podcast.

This week Trent, Josh, and Dana address the very timely topic of fall wheat fertility. As the drills begin to run across Oklahoma, it is very timely to consider fertility aspects of wheat and other small grains. Are you growing wheat for forage or grain? Fertility will vary depending on your goals of the wheat crop.
This week, we have another episode highlighting one of the extension educators in the OSU Cooperative extension system. It was our honor to speak with Rick Nelson, the Garfield County OSU Extension Ag Educator. Rick hails from the tiny town of Canton, OK. Devoted to the service of agricultural producers, Ricks career spans the extension system in both Kansas and Oklahoma. We had a great discussion with Rick about his experience in many facets of the ag industry. Tune in for this informative discussion.
