Details

Back by popular demand, James Cassidy, a senior instructor in crop and soil science with the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, returns to explain how soil gives our lives meaning. Most people only have a vague idea of what soil is and how it works. You will learn more than you ever thought possible from this lecture. What soil is, how soils form, the reason you are alive, what nutrients are, how soil stores water and nutrients, how to access published on-line soils data to improve your understanding of this critical resource, the fundamentals that, according to Cassidy, " ... all humans on planet Earth should know."
