Reporting from Ag Academy in Grinnell, Iowa

Our travels recently took us to Grinnell, Iowa and a 2014 Ag Academy event hosted by Asgrow and DEKALB.

One of the Ag Academy presenters was Christie Wiebbecke, a soybean breeder with Monsanto. We visited with Wiebbecke about the soybean breeding program, a typical day in the life of a soybean breeder, and what she likes most about her job.

Another Ag Academy presenter was Steve Eichenberger, an Asgrow/DEKALB technical agronomist in northeast Iowa. Eichenberger talked about the local impact of breeding efforts and the role that the technical agronomist plays in product development.
