“The public sees pesticides as toxins and poisons … but what if we could get them to see them as crop medicines?”
From farmer to academia, back to farmer and expanding researcher, Miller Research history has covered the agricultural spectrum. Using conditions as close to commercial production as possible with field plots, Jeff Miller shares their research efforts into potato seed and pathologies, fertilizers, pesticides and green manures. He also advocates for “regenerative ag” or “sustainability” even when the terms are defined differently or nebulously, and he shares why. Then he’ll take us inside the current research pathways and point to the good things happening.
It's an enlightening show today, and you can’t listen and not learn something new. (And yes, that’s a dare.)
