In the third Weather Ready Farms podcast series, I visit with Dr. Amy Schmidt of UNL's Biological Systems Engineering. She talks about her background and why she switched from aerospace engineering to agricultural engineering, the benefits proper manure management in fields can bring to the soil and the environment, and what a manure broker is.
