erika sings the antigo silt loam song

In 1980, F.D. Hole, a soil scientist who worked mostly in Wisconsin wrote this song about Wisconsin's state soil, Antigo Silt Loam. Now Erika sings it.

Well done! As a dirt worshipping tree hugger I shall pass this on to my friends. Thank you!

@SweetGeorgiaPearl Awesome! I am happy to have people spread the word about the best state soil ever.

Great singing and playing! I've never heard of a state soil before... I learn something new every time I log onto YouTube :)

Thanks!  I always strive to make YouTube educational...

This made my life. Any song written about soil is just amazing. I love silly scientists. Thanks for this cover! I love it! And the fact that you slipped it into conversation - you must be a fantastically cool person. :)

Hm...fantastically nerdy, for sure! Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only person who appreciates the quirkiness of scientists.

A soil scientist with the last name HOLE ?? I think you just made that up. Who was his partner, Dr. Rutherford Worms ? Heh heh.

It seems entirely possible...

[reyalpEleluku]

so you think the circumstantial evidence is pretty good?
