DeAnn Presley — Soil Science and Management
We walk on it. We dig in it. As children (and sometimes as adults, too), we play in it. We grow our food in it, and on it. It’s plain oi’ “dirt” to most of us, but to a soil scientist, it’s a world of opportunity. DeAnn Presley is a professor in environmental soil science and management, in the College of Agriculture at Kansas State University. She is also the K-State Research and Extension soil management specialist. She’ll discuss her work with cover crops as a means to improve soil health… and why it’s so critical that we all work together to keep our soils healthy.
