Season 2, Episode 6 - Soil with Amber Anderson

Dr. Kurt A. Rosentrater Season 2 Episode 6

Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about grains, their history, their processing, and their use.  But, we have not yet spent time talking about grain production.  We need to talk about these aspects.

So, in today’s episode we will spend time talking about the importance of soil to crop production.  Our guest is Dr. Amber Anderson from Iowa State University.  She is a faculty member in the Department of Agronomy, is part of the Sustainable Agriculture Program, as well as Global Resource Systems.

More about Dr. Anderson can be found at her ISU faculty webpage:  https://www.susag.iastate.edu/people/amber-anderson-0

 

Are potatoes really grains or not?  It will be interesting to learn what lawmakers decide!!  For the latest information and industry stories about cereal grains, check out the Cereals and Grains Association’s webpage, especially their InGRAINed Newsletter at https://www.cerealsgrains.org/
