In this episode, we sit down with Gerald Hursh, a long-time Growers customer and Lancaster County farmer with deep roots in both crop production and custom spraying. Gerald shares stories from his recent flood relief trip to Kentucky, offers practical tips for frost protection, and weighs in on the challenges and changes in modern agriculture—from nitrogen overuse to the bird flu outbreak affecting poultry growers.
With decades of experience, Gerald talks about:
The economics of farming in PA, where land goes for up to $60K an acre
How his church group stepped up to help flood victims
Why dry fertilizer might be hurting more than helping
His longtime use of Growers Mineral Solutions
And the quiet but serious impacts of Avian Flu
Whether you're a Growers customer or just interested in honest farm talk from the field, this episode is full of real-world insight.
