Me, after an hour long rant about nitrogen and perennial crops: "... but time's up. I suppose you all have to leave now. You don't have to disagree with me on agribusiness, plant breeding and nitrogen cycles though. Feel free to object, to rant back, or to simply disagree."
Students: "Nono. Do go on."
After 10 more minutes I send them out anyway. One of them stops to tell me it was a good class, so different from the others. I told him I'm glad he likes it - it was not the most happy topic.
That is when I love my job.
#Agriculture is still fascinating. The kids will be alright.
