Microbes, Minerals and Myths with Dr. Don Huber, Emeritus Professor of Plant Pathology, Purdue University

Join us for a thought-provoking two-part lecture series with Dr. Don Huber, a long-time researcher and educator in the fields of plant pathology, soil microbiology, and nutrient interactions. Dr. Huber brings decades of academic and field experience to bear on complex questions about soil health, plant disease, and the unintended consequences of modern agricultural practices.

 

Part 1 – “Is a hidden killer lurking in your soil?”

 

Part 2 – “Nutrient management to control plant diseases”

 

While some of Dr. Huber’s perspectives remain debated within mainstream science, his presentations invite critical thinking and open dialogue on issues that affect both conventional and regenerative producers. Whether you agree or disagree, this is an opportunity to engage with ideas that challenge the status quo.
