Dr. David Allen Lobb of Winnipeg will be inducted into the
Canadian Conservation Hall of Fame in December.
He grew up on a family farm in Huron County, worked in
Ontario, the Maritimes and Manitoba and spent his life researching the role of
tillage in erosion.
At the University of Manitoba, he created the only lab in
the world capable of measuring soil translocation by tillage and tillage
erosion.
The Soil Conservation Council of Canada says Dr. Lobb has
also raised the profile of soil for a new generation of students.
