Let’s go back to the NAFB Convention and Trade Talk for this week’s program and learn what’s new with BASF.

To find out I interviewed Amber Shirley, Technical Services Specialist and Craig Lindholm, Marketing Manager – Seed Treatment. You’ll hear them both talk about plant health.

Here in this picture is Amber getting interviewed before I got my turn. She talks about the BASF cereal fungicide portfolio. As she puts it, “Plant health is the talk of the town.” She says fungicides are important for disease control, increase in growth efficiency and increase in drought tolerance. Craig talks about seed treatments of course and says they’ll have 11 products available by 2011. He says that you want to get that seedling started off healthy.

The program this week ends with music from the Podsafe Music Network. This one is called “Drive” from the Common Ground. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
