When many people think of NASA, they just think about looking at stars, planets, and black holes, but they do a lot of work to help agriculture in the United States. Karen St. Germain is the Director of the Earth Science Division at NASA, and she says they work closely with the USDA to better agriculture. Currently they have satellites that watch the weather, measure crop health, read soil moisture levels, and much more. Coming soon they will be launching the NISAR satellite. It will be the most sophisticated radar launched to date, and it will allow them to see any structural changes that happen on the earth as well as measure soil moisture. They are also studying how recent wildfires are affecting the crops within the United States. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Soybean Association.
