058 - Woody Agriculture. Breeding Trees, Restoring a Piece of Americas Past and Establishing a Piece of Our Agricultural Future with Phil Rutter. (Part 2 of 2)

Published: July 11, 2014, 1:11 p.m.

An interview with Phil Rutter of Badgersett Research Corporation.

\n

We talk about why perennial based woody agriculture is important and how chestnuts and hazelnuts fit into that. We also talk a lot about plant breed and using mass selection to find genotypes that have the traits that you are looking for.

\n

This episode is pretty dense and has a ton of information in it for anyone looking to breed plants. Phil is brilliant and I think I learned more about plant breeding my conversations with him than I ever have anywhere else. Given how much information is in this episode and how long this episode is, I have split it into two parts. This is part 2 of 2.With the first part as episode 57.

\n

Take it all in, enjoy it, and most importantly do something with this information.
