New Iron -- My Interview With Professor Qin Zhang

For this weeks blogburst I travelled to the University of Illinois to interview Professor Qin Zhang, an internationally recognized expert on automating the harvest. In specific I wanted to ask him about the nexus between automating the harvest and illegal immigration. I think it the round trip six hour drive was well worth it.

I had to split the interview into two pieces as it runs about twenty minutes. It is unedited, at the end when it jumps that's when I ran out of CD and had to put in another. I thank the good professor who seemed like a genuinely nice guy and a fascinating interview.
