Summary
If you drive across the Midwest, much of the landscape is under production for corn and soybeans. But, it didn't always look like that. Only a couple of generations ago, farmers were planting more diverse fields, many of them including wheat . This month we are joined by Nathan Mueller, Executive Director of Nu Horizon Genetics and producer, to talk about the "third crop" -- win ter wheat. Learn how wheat can improve farms, provide valuable habitat for wildlife , and help improve our landscapes and ecosystems.
