4-H Fields Crops club members listened to an informative talk by Tom Bruelsmea at their third meeting on June 17 at the new Ontario Agriculture offices in Elora.
The basic chemistry and use of fertilizers were discussed. Bruelsmea, who works at the International Plant Nutrition Institute, also presented problems associated with fertilizers and where these products are mined. He also brought several samples and answered members’ questions.
Several other items including the secretary’s report and press release from the last meeting were presented and plot projects were also discussed.
