Agronomists and farmers have had many challenges thrown at them throughout the years. One recent challenge that they are facing is climate change. As most of us know, this is something huge that needs multiple people working together to find a solution. Iowa State University agronomists pair up with the mechanical engineers and are working towards finding a solution to the climate change problem, specifically in soybeans.
Iowa State University agronomy professor Danny Singh talks about how the innovative in-field research chamber might seem easy to some people since it is a greenhouse, but he assures that it is much more intricate than a typical greenhouse chamber. He explains the partnership with professor Heise and his students and how he feels pairing up with the mechanical engineers could help solve problems.
Singh talks about the challenges that the students have faced over the process and some of the problems that they have had to solve.
Singh mentions all of the support and funding from outside parties other than the University.
