Episode: Ep. 67 Blake Brown, Educating West Tennessee and Beyond About Agriculture
Description: As the director of the University of Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center at Milan, Blake Brown experiences firsthand the innovation that comes as a result of agriculture research. Since opening in 1962, thousands of projects have taken place on crops including corn, cotton, soybeans, grain-sorghum, wheat and more. In this episode, Brown shares a little of what is happening at the center today along with the story of its founder, Tom McCutchen, who is known as “the father of Tennessee no-till.” McCutchen’s story is included in Discovery Park’s exhibit on innovation in agriculture that opens Dec. 5, 2020.
