After spending last episode talking about the background and history of nitrogen rate recommendations in Minnesota, today on episode 14 we're talking about what to keep in mind as you begin predicting your nitrogen rate needs.

Central Pennsylvania has recently been getting some much needed rainfall following two months of record dryness. It came as a relief to firefighters in parts of the state that have battled wildfires. But it's still not enough to pull the region out of the drought. A Democratic state House member who has a medical background is warning that appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the U-S Department of  Health and Human Services would be harmful to Americans. Cases of Walking Pneumonia have gone up across the country, including in Pennsylvania and especially among young children.  Doctors in the region have been seeing rising numbers this year too. A Lancaster organization has removed signs instructing people to say "no" to panhandlers' asking for money. A  $120 million deal to sell three Northeast Pennsylvania hospitals to a nonprofit group has fallen through -- after the proposed buyer could not secure financing. Tyler Warren and the rest of Penn State's senior class normally would be preparing to take in the sights and sounds in their last game at Beaver Stadium. This season's Senior Day festivities won't have that sense of finality. The No. 4 Nittany Lions are readying for a postseason run that could feature a first-round playoff game in Happy Valley. Pennsylvania, like much of the Northeast, has experienced unusually dry weather as we mentioned earlier -- and that's causing concerns about low drinking water levels and farm crop losses. So how is it affecting one of the season's most popular agricultural products -- Christmas trees?    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crop technician Ross Dyke has a new project called Get Children Growing. He's a Plant Pod host and works at Bonterre CIC alternative education establishment near Worcester, teaching horticulture skills. An unassuming networker, he is also studying at Pershore College and is a Colegrave Seabrook and IPPS scholar.He left school at 14 and worked in various jobs before moving to Webbs Garden Centres and becoming a horticulture industry lover.To get Get Children Growing off the ground, to bring sunflower grow kits to children in schools across the UK, Dyke has worked with Amy Stubbs from British Garden Centres and Skinny Jean gardener Lee Connolly and with help from Mr Fothergill's, Westland, New Leaf Plants and Webbs Garden Centres.He said: "I believe every school should have a garden and it should teach children where food comes from and even where cut flowers come from. Because you go into these garden centres, you see the flowers in the pots and if you're a child, you don't know where they've come from, you don't know how they've been grown, you don't know how they've been nurtured. So I just want to educate the younger generation and you never know, it might inspire some to say, do know what, I want to do that for a living."For more Get Children Growing details, see www.theplantpod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

The Federal Trade Commission is continuing to probe the right to repair for farmers, farm groups urging the Biden administration to make sure renewable fuel tax credits prioritize American crops, most farmers are relying on off-farm jobs to rely on their primary source of income to keep their farms running, and barriers women face entering farming. Doug discussed that, too. Then, we welcome back Alexis Burnham of Burnham Orchards (BurnhamOrchards.com) to the program. Alexis, a 7th generation family farmer, previously discussed her family's nearly 211 year old farm, which you can hear HERE. This time, the conversation surrounds female farmers, the opportunities of getting educated in ag, and how family farmers can continue with added benefits throughout the whole year when their primary crop is out of season. Then Farmer Doug opines why people want to become farmers or why multi-generation farmers want to stay on the farm. While it's difficult to make a living in today's society, it's truly a passion and unconditional love for so many. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks
