UTENSIL 101 Resources

UTENSIL 101 is your resource to help you navigate agriculture. We took our experts' lifetimes of experience and packaged it up into many short videos, with answers to the questions you have or didn't even know you should have. We boldly say it's better than Google! After all, if you work for or with farmers - it may be useful to know the difference between hay and straw or to know the basics of how farms are regulated or maybe even how a combine works. New content is added regularly and as a subscriber you'll have immediate access to it all!
