Episode 1 of 22: 2021 year in review
Questions from the mail bag
‘We’ve bean around the block’ podcast host Antony Jarvie invites an avid listener, Colin Prince, to critically review the channel and to assist with listener questions. Colin, who is a seasoned enthusiast of podcasts and claims to have listened to all the WBATB episodes, discusses the pros and cons of show length, frequency and seasonality. He then goes on to pose questions raised by listeners. The End Point Royalty discussed in Episode 7 of 21 raised two important questions. Should farmers who buy seed still be liable for the EPR, and is a differential royalty rate for different cultivars a possibility? Episode 5 of 21 featured the investigation of rotating sugar cane with dry beans. This episode attracted the question of how would one get started with such a rotation? A question that followed Episode 11 of 21 on the insect pests of soybean was centered around new insect resistance technologies. Would Bt soybeans be as popular as Bt maize, and when could we expect to see this technology in the field? The last question was about show content for 2022.
