With seeding coming to a head across the prairie provinces and states, this has brought in thought-provoking questions into the app. A producer out of Wallula, WA asked this question: 

Looking for help with alkaline soils and growing potatoes. Ground gets really tight and spuds have a hard time expanding in the hill. Plants have a hard time with row closure. Looking for better foliage growth and soften the soil up a bit.
