Celebrating Black History!

February has been designated as the month to celebrate African-Americans and their contribution to society. African American farmers have contributed immensely to the field and life of Agriculture. There have been several inventions, ideas, and practices that have increased the efficiency and productivity of farmers across the world. For example, George Washington Carver, an agricultural scientist, inventor, and educator developed a crop rotation method to enhance soil that was depleted of nitrogen so that it produced crops other than cotton.
