I had the opportunity last week to return to my alma mater,
Western Illinois University, and speak to the nutrient management class taught
by Dr. Joel Gruver. It is always fun to
go to speak to groups about what we do and why we do it. I feel that it is important to spread the
news about not only our work but the absolute awesomeness of being allowed to
work with and learn about God’s creation.
I have spoken to a whole myriad of groups through the years and I always
try to relate how wonderful and important agriculture is to the world.
I impressed upon the students that there will be many
challenges ahead for them to find answers to in their lifetime. The biggest challenge of all throughout the
rest of time will all be related to water quality. The amount of water in the world is
constant. Quality and location is
increasingly becoming the issue of the century.
Most of us as mature adults may not be affected, but, the next generation
will need to address this issue with diligence and fervor. I am sure that it can be done. With brilliance, ingenuity and our American
way of life any answer can be found.
