Comment:
Interesting guy, but incredibly boring teaching style. Expect to spend the semester yawning while he explains black-and-white diagrams. The information communicated is only useful if you have previous hands-on knowledge of agriculture. Those who grew up on a farm should have no problem, but those who don't havethat background will find it hard.

Nice guy, but I didn't like his teaching style. Too many stories and not enough info. I could've learned all that material in half a semester. Lab was really poorly organized and explained; TAs weren't given instructions and Ralph wouldn't help even if asked. Learned a lot but spent half of class doing crosswords.

Comment:
Excellent teacher and great guy. Makes you understand not only the course curriculum, but also how it fits into a greater academic and social realm. An awesome old-time profs who actually grew up on a grain farm in the midwest and has both the practical background and academic knowledge to be a great source of info on agronomy and life in general.
