On this episode of the K-State Regen Ag Podcast, we speak with Drs. Romulo Lollato and John Kirkegaard. Dr. Lollato is a professor and extension wheat and forage production specialist for the Kansas State University Department of Agronomy. Dr. Kirkegaard is a chief research scientist of farming systems for CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, and a visiting Fulbright distinguished chair in agriculture and life sciences supported by Kansas State University and Fulbright Australia. They join the show to discuss Romulo's recent sabbatical trip to Australia, John's research on topics such as tillage, cropping system diversity, and nutrient management, and how the lessons learned in Australia may have applications for Kansas agriculture.
