Our Plant Science students had an amazing, hands-on experience today with an onsite field assessment! After diving deep into soil studies in class, they put their knowledge to the test, collaborating with the local NRCS office and a soil conservationist. Students evaluated 40 unique soil characteristics—from measuring slopes and analyzing soil color to examining structure and beyond. This incredible experience not only strengthens their learning but also gives them a taste of what it’s like to work as a Soil Scientist! We’re so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm in the field! ----- ¡Nuestros estudiantes de Ciencias de las Plantas tuvieron una experiencia práctica increíble hoy con una evaluación de campo en el sitio!
