Today we are talking about integrated pest management with independent agrologist Rob Dunn. Rob will discuss his field approach of to help build soil and crop health, the importance of bees to your bottom line, and how beneficial insects can help tip the scale towards winning the battle against the bad guys. Rob iterates that it’s not about eliminating the use of pesticides but to reduce our dependency on them while also building a larger arsenal of tools that you can use for different pest and disease encounters.
Rob Dunn is a cropping systems specialist at Farm Wise based out of Lethbridge and a member of the Alberta Institute of Professional Agrologists.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
