On this week’s episode, we talk with Pioneer Field Agronomist Matt Montgomery about the Edge Effect on corn fields and other yield robbers. Also, we’ve heard a lot about the dwindling honey bee population over the past few years, but, is it really dwindling? We’ll hear from a Washington state bee expert. Then, time is ticking to put a new farm bill in place. We’ll hear some thoughts from Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall. In our “Meat Monitor” segment, we learn about classes being held in the Middle East to teach chefs and culinary students new ways of preparing U.S. beef, and in “Bushels and Cents,” Ray Bohacz stresses the importance of having a copy of as-built schematics for your farm equipment. The episode also features the music of Clarksville Creative Sound singer/songwriter Terry Lemaster.
