Materials Development 

Graphic Video - After interoperability – next topic?

Inputs - specific types, how used, when, where, how much, etc. 

Come help us do this work, here's why it's important. 

Seed, Production?

Something that AGIIS solves? (what it is and isn't) - maybe feature one thing about AGIIS

Need to stay brief, relevant (fresh)

Soil labs - labwork

Maybe do 2 new videos in 2021. 

  1. Interoperability
