Learning more about conservation agriculture research. CIMMYT uses crop rotation, reduced tillage and cover crops! Sound familiar?

Today my dad turns 60. People always say I’m just like my mom, but the truth is, so much of who I am comes from my dad too. I’m thankful he gave me the opportunity to show livestock and encouraged me to join FFA. I even played his trumpet in high school band! Happy Birthday, dad!
