Purdue University agronomy professor George Van Scoyoc explains the difference between forest and prairie soils to Soldiers of the Indiana National Guardís 1-19th Agribusiness Development Team at the Beck Agricultural Center in West Lafayette, Ind. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008. The Citizen-Soldiers will use this training and their civilian acquired skills to help Afghanistan farmers when the team deploys in 2009. "The opportunity to use our civilian skills for something positive is a rarity in what we do," said Capt. Brian Pyle. Indiana National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Jeff Lowry
