Today marks the one year anniversary of Center Points. As I look back through the 52 posts I realize just how much we have shared over this past year.  From Seedstocks to sulfur deficiency, agronomy to ag business, fertilizer to fruit, and everything in between, we have shared the latest research, demonstrations, and information with the intent that you can implement these practices on your own farm or ranch or around your home.

As we end Year One of Center Points, I would like to share some information about where our readers are from:
