In this conversation, Sarah and Jodi talk with special guest Josh Stutrud, a farmer from north of Rugby, North Dakota, to discuss the importance of managing protein in malting barley. Josh strives to use cutting-edge precision technology to more efficiently manage inputs on every acre. Farming in the Prairie Pothole region means that Josh deals with variability in pretty much every field that he and his dad farm. Managing protein for malt barley means managing variability.  This is part one of a two-part discussion with Josh, so make sure to come back in two weeks to check out the second part of this conversation.
