Description
In this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, we discuss Kernza, on track to becoming the world's first perennial grain crop. What is Kernza and why should farmers consider growing it?

Support for the Nutrient Management Podcast is provided by Minnesota's fertilizer tonnage fee through the Agricultural Fertilizer Research & Education Council (AFREC).
