Story about Alabama farming for Business Alabama
This is a story about Alabama farming technology at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.
Highlighted on the cover and featured on the Business Alabama website, the story introduces the Institute's Genomic Sequencing Center team.
The perfect example of what we mean about Kimberly's versatility, talking to sources about their work is an invaluable tool of journalism.
She says she doesn't know anything about anything until she talks to sources.
"I have tackled many subjects where I was completely blind about the topic," she said. "But I knew nothing about healthcare, economic development or parenting either when I wrote those stories. And get this - I don't have children!"
A city girl at heart, this story about Alabama farming technology at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology was not something she lay awake thinking about.
On the other hand, Kimberly knew nothing about robotics or medical procedures, automotive detailing or recovering from alcoholism either.
Despite that, she has been bringing these stories of innovation and enlightenment to life for over 25 years!
HudsonAlpha’s genetic recipe for a new breed of Alabama farm crops
A team of scientists at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology’s Genomic Sequencing Center in Huntsville is breaking farming tradition by introducing genomic sequencing technology to Alabama farmers.
The new approach is a faster, more targeted means for improving profitable farming seasons in Alabama and accelerates the production of new crop varieties. This helps farmers produce more crops with lower inputs like fertilizer and pesticides, decreasing costs on downstream processes like harvesting and food processing.
