Today on the show, we are joined by Kim Ominski, Peter Frolich, and Hooman Derakshani, all from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. We cover what the faculty is and how they prepare students for careers in agriculture, how research projects they undertake are funded, and how that research makes its way to the farm.
