This past Sunday I was the featured guest on Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country, on 98.3 WOW-FM in Des Moines. It's the nations only full hour, live radio show devoted to living in the country. They talk about the issues that impact rural living and bring on guests that can help make living the lifestyle more enjoyable and profitable.

Highway 6 is not really a farm show; it is dedicated to acreage owners. An interesting note from last weeks show, according to the USDA anyone that files a schedule F with more than $1000 in income is a farmer. That would certainly include anyone that has a few acres and sells some hay to a neighbor, rents some pasture, or sells fruits and vegetables at the local farmers market.

So what was the point of us being on the program? We discussed the importance of liming in any fertility program, how having the proper soil pH can reduce the amount of fertilizer needed, and how using SuperCal SO4 can reduce runoff.

Thanks to the crew over at WOW and to the host Michael Libbie, I had a lot of fun and look forward to being a part of the show in the future.
