Cosmic forces sometimes align and this week they certainly have where Agronomists Happy Hour sits down with Agronomy Bar & Grill. 

This week the Agronomists Happy Hour traveled to Des Moines, IA to attend the North Central Soil Fertility Conference.  Lots of great topics and speakers from that conference that we cover on this episode. 

Because we were in Iowa, beer this week came from West O Beer located on Lake Okoboji in northwestern Iowa. Tune in to the last 10 minutes to get our take on their beer.
