Agronomists Happy Hour

Jason and Kyle take a question off the AGvisorPRO app asking about the plant back interval differences to soybean from different 2,4D formulations. 

With a major blizzard in the forecast, we had some thoughts going into our particular conditions this spring. Importance of starter fertilizers and seed treatments have crossed our minds in these cold conditions and we spend some time sharing our thoughts why that is.
