How do you build a better carrot for organic farms and gardens, and how do you grow one for the best results? I discussed those topics with longtime carrot breeder Dr. Phil Simon, who shared a fascinating little carrot history, too\\u2014like who knew that the modern carrot\\u2019s ancestors originated in Afghanistan?
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPhil Simon has been breeding carrots for more than 40 years. He holds a joint position with the USDA\'s Agricultural Research Service and the University of Wisconsin-Madison\'s Horticulture Department. More likely than not, you\'ve eaten carrots with genetics that have come from his breeding work.
