The public is invited to listen to \u201cA Prairie Conversation\u201d with Wes Jackson ’58 and friends from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, in Peters Science Hall 201 on the campus of Kansas Wesleyan University. The second installment in the lecture series will feature Stan Cox, ecosphere fellow at The Land Institute.<\/p>\n

The topic of the\u00a0conversation\u00a0will be Cox\u2019s career in crop research, effects of developing perennial agriculture and Cox\u2019s work as an ecosphere fellow.<\/p>\n

Cox did his graduate work in plant breeding at Iowa State University and performed field research on sorghum at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Patancheru, India. After graduation in 1983, he worked for 13 years as a wheat geneticist for the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Manhattan, Kansas. There, he worked developing disease-resistant wheat germplasm using hybrids between wheat and its wild ancestral species. Cox joined The Land Institute in 2000 and worked on developing perennial sorghum.<\/p>\n

The discussion with Cox will be followed by a question-and-answer session moderated by\u00a0Jackson.<\/p>\n

Jackson, a 1958 graduate of Kansas\u00a0Wesleyan and a professor emeritus for the university, is the co-founder and former president of The Land Institute in Salina. The Land Institute is a science-based research organization working to develop an alternative to traditional agricultural practices. Its work is dedicated to advancing perennial grain crops and polyculture farming solutions.<\/p>\n
