Description

The metric Dollars Per Day (DPD) is a quick and easy way to determine if one crop is more profitable than another.  DPD is the revenue generated by a single crop in a single bed divided by the total days that crop was in that bed.   17:30 Farmer Jodi Roebuck @roebuckfarm talks about how they grow amazing carrots on their farm: direct seeding, soil preparation, amendments, and harvesting.   Kwik Hoops are eligible for NRCS low-tunnel grants. Protect your valuable crop from rain, wind, cold, and insects using Kwik Hoops and InsectaNet.   Learn more about Jodi: https://www.roebuckfarm.com/ @roebuckfarm
