WASHINGTON (AP) - A new exhibit that really dishes the dirt is in the planning stages at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
Seeking to plow new fields of knowledge, the Fertilizer Institute announced it is making a $1 million grant to the museum to create an exhibit on soil science.
"Through our sponsorship of the exhibit, we hope the museum's over 6 million visitors annually will gain a greater appreciation of the role modern agriculture plays in sustaining healthy soils," Ford B. West, president of the Institute, said in a statement.
