Wheat Research

Rubens Diogo, a postdoctoral researcher in the Jean-Michel Ané Lab, shows the texture of the soil in the Central Sands region at Hancock Agricultural Research Station in Hancock, Wis. The soil, which the Wisconsin DNR calls “excessively drained, with very rapid permeability, very low available water capacity, and low nutrient status” is perfect for the lab’s research.
