Season 2, Episode 6 - Soil with Amber Anderson
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
