“Farm and Ranch Profitability all Starts in the Soil.” Terry Buettner serves as the Account Development & Agronomy Support Manager for Ward Laboratories Inc. based out of Kearney, Neb. Ward Laboratories are Graze Master Group partners. Buettner joined Ward Laboratories in the fall of 2017. He graduated from the University of Nebraska – Kearney in 1983 with a B.S. in Business Administration. He has been involved in production agriculture and seed sales in the Kearney area for 34 years. During this Underdog Ag Podcast, Buettner will discuss the Ward Laboratories Soil Health Assessment as well as Soil Health Principles that lead to increased fertility, more productive land, and more. Below is more information about the assessment that benefits farmers and ranchers in numerous ways. About the Ward Laboratories Inc. Soil Health Assessment: Looking to boost your dollars per acre at harvest time? It all starts in the soil. Your plants are only as healthy as the soil they are feeding from. Reduced microbial activity and limited nutrient availability can result in lackluster harvests. Ward Laboratories can give you a complete report of our findings and recommend corrective measures. The new Soil Health Assessment (SHA) package is a test that combines the latest in soil science, ensuring that both soil fertility and soil health are viewed through a single test, helping farmers and researchers measure and manage soil health without compromising productivity. Microbial activity and food are evaluated to provide data that enhances operations while also evaluating nutrients in a manner that is widely accepted by Land Grant University correlations and calibrations. This new package also includes modified aggregate stability. With this addition, the new Soil Health Assessment offers two biological, one chemical and one physical indicator of soil health.

Corn silage is such piece in your ration. Much work has been done by corn breeders to create the most ideal plant with high yields, digestible forage AND starch to support lactation. This month we talk with Dr. José Varela and feature a foundational silage project he and his team worked on at the University of Wisconsin to better understand specifically how zein proteins around corn starch particles change overtime when fermented. Corn breeders throughout the Land Grant University system collaborate and work hard to ensure the next line of genetically superior forage will perform on your operation - but genetics can only go so far. Silage inventory management ensures that the perfect alignment of fully fermented feed for your herd. This project studied the differences in nutrient availability between 0, 1, 2, 4 & 8 months of fermentation. Listen in to best understand the risks of feeding green chop. This timely topic is released while many dairies are in the field, or having just finished up with harvest. Take a listen in to best understand the value gained towards improving starch availability for your herd. These findings were published in the Journal of Dairy Science featured article titled, “Effect of Endosperm Type and Storage Length of Whole Plant Corn Silage on Nitrogen Fraction, Fermentation Products, Zein Profile and Starch Digestibility” Open access, available for download. Topics of discussion 1:51 Introduction of Dr. Varela 4:00 Kernel Research – Starch matrix 4:54 Description of the corn anatomy 5:30 Three major structures of the kernel 7:11 Vitreousness of the corn kernel 7:45 Role of land grants in research 8:41 Improving the kernel endosperm could also have agronomic flaws 9:58 The process of plot research – self vs cross fertilization to study kernel change 12:19 Chopping silage 12:33 Fermentation over time 13:17 How did the silage change over time 14:08 Results 15:28 α-zeins break down during fermentation 16:03 Figure 2 16:30 Feeding Green Chop 18:42 Drought and high temperatures 21:05 Silage analysis 22:17 Invitro starch digestibility: vitreousness or α-zeins? 23:53 What would you like boots on the ground to know about your research project? 25:17 Forage inventory – make a plan 26:26 Inoculate with protease? #2xAg2030; #journalofdairyscience; @jdairyscience; #openaccess; #MODAIRY; #protease; #landgrantresearch; #cornsilage, #starch; #milkyieldperacre; #agronomics, #dairysciencedigest; #ReaganBluel https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(23)00558-1/pdf

Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr interview Penn State Equine Extension Educator, Laura Kenny about how to know if your pasture is adequate, if improvements need to be made, or if it's a total loss that needs to start over through pasture evaluation techniques. Laura also shares some tips on how to get the most out of a pasture to benefit the horse and the environment. Laura and Dr. Cubitt talk about why horse owners should determine their goals with their horses before reseeding or improving pastures, and finding a good balance between what is good for the pasture and soil but what is also needed for specific horses, particularly ones struggling with metabolic disorders. They also discuss foxtail, including what it is, how to identify it and differentiate it from timothy grass, and how to get rid of it.

In this episode of High Theory, Karl Dudman tells us about the Cooperative Extension System. Formed in 1914 as an extension of the Land Grant University system in the United States, the Cooperative Extension System is an extraordinarily public model of scientific communication. There is an extension officer in every county of the US. The original goal was to transmit academic scientific knowledge on agriculture to America's farmers, but the program's remit has expanded over the past hundred years. And it varies widely from place to place. You might go to an extension office to test the soil of your rose bed, to find a food pantry, or attend a kids exercise class. You might also have a conversation about climate change. In the full version of our conversation, Karl discussed the National Extension Climate Initiative which aims to unite climate change education and research across the cooperative extension system and Christopher Henke's book, Cultivating Science, Harvesting Power: Science and Industrial Agriculture in California (MIT Press, 2008). Karl Dudman is doctoral candidate at the University of Oxford's Institute for Science, Innovation and Society and a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Program on Science Technology and Society. He does qualitative research on climate science in the US. His ongoing fieldwork, hosted by the North Carolina State Climate Office, examines how actors within climate science, coastal management and local politics navigate accelerating sea level rise in the context of widespread ambivalence towards the mainstream climate change narrative. Karl is also a photographer, and through his work explores the politics of competing cultural relationships with landscapes, and their subsequent representation. This week's image is a photograph of two men in a field of tall grass taken November 11, 2008 by Dennis Pennington, Bioenergy Educator, Michigan State University Extension.

Hoppy Holidays from Land-Grant University! This year we're celebrating the tastes of the season with our Holiday Lager, Tinsel! With notes of apricot and ginger that give a subtle hint of tart & spice, this is the perfect easy-drinking Christmas beer for spending the season with your loved ones.
Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Dr. Aida Balsano, Director for Prevention Communications and Public Engagement at the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and Robert Vincent, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Prevention and Treatment Policy at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Ultimately our goal is to help parents have“The Talk.” If it hasn't happened yet, then let's be prepared…if it has, how did it go? If you screwed it up, no worries. Let's figure out how to get it right. But, on the other hand, if you feel it went well, take this as a reminder that the talk is not a one-off, let's figure out what's next in this constant battle to keep those we love more than life itself safe! Today our panel discusses the consequences of substance abuse. Learn why explaining the “why” is essential when talking to your child. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Overview of The Talk - Part 2 [01:46] The knowledge your child has regarding drugs may be faulty [05:49] How does a parent cope with feelings of betrayal and dishonesty? Should there be consequences for bad behavior [10:18] The importance of telling a child why this behavior is bad for them [12:54] How the drugs have changed over the years [19:36] Upcoming episode of Awkward Conversations KEY TAKEAWAYS: Kids don't look at the consequences of drug use. They don't frame it as health, wellness, or well-being. Instead, they only think about the future and need to hear why drugs harm them. Parents need to be listening and present. A “behavior contract,” or reward and consequences, should be clear to everyone. Likewise, there should be inevitable consequences for certain behaviors. The potency of drugs has changed. They are more potent than they have ever been. And the sad thing about that fact is that the wrong pill can kill. ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

SHOW NOTES: Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Dr. Aida Balsano, Special Assistant to the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and Robert Vincent, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Prevention and Treatment Policy at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Ultimately our goal is to help parents have “The Talk.” In this episode, we will discuss keeping the child's dignity intact while assisting them through difficult situations. Separating what the child's behavior is and your love for the child can be hard when tempers are raging. We will share tips on overcoming these situations and how to make “The Talk” beneficial to the child and not detrimental to your relationship. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Show excerpt [02:25] Admitting as the parent that we are not perfect. We make mistakes and may have made an error even in the position taken in the current conversation [06:36]Dos and Don'ts of having the conversation about substance abuse [11:53]LGBTQ children and the approach a parent takes [16:11] Anger and crisis mode versus compassion and empathy [18:24] Coming up on the next episode of Awkward Conversations KEY TAKEAWAYS: Give your child a chance to participate in the “Talk.” Don't direct the conversation at them but give both parent and child opportunities to voice their opinion. There are cultural differences when there are age differences. Ensure that the child understands what you are communicating. Don't assume you are on the same page. Don't lecture. The goal is to keep the conversation going. Kids will turn off a lecture. Instead, encouraging further discussion leaves them confident they can discuss anything with the parent. ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

In this episode, we will discuss the When and How's of talking with our kids about drugs and making smart choices. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Role play of child questioning the use of alcohol with parents [02:45] At what age should we have the “talk” regarding drugs and alcohol [04:18] Making the “talk” an opportunity rather than a conversation I “have” to have with my child [08:41] The research has shown kids want to have these conversations [11:50] Encouragement goes a long way [20:09] How to overcome the fear of having hard talks with your child KEY TAKEAWAYS: The ideal conversation you can have with your child is non-threatening and non-confrontational. A parent's approach when discussing complex subjects with a child makes an enormous difference. It is ok to have quiet moments during talks with your kids. Often both parties need time to reflect on what was said. It is also ok as a parent not to have all the answers. Focus on the positive things in your child's life. Then, when it comes to young teens, ask lots of questions and be supportive as they try to find out who they are. ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

Economic changes bring prosperity, but not without cost. The globalization of how we produce and consume has left many American workers in dead end jobs without prospects for advancement. Some critics of this change have argued for the necessity of walls to protect American industries from global competition and labor exploitation. In his new book The Wall and The Bridge: Fear and Opportunity in Disruption's Wake, Glenn Hubbard argues for bridges to economic opportunity.

The Amerikan Therapy team sits down with Virginia State University President, Dr. Makola M. Abdullah, to talk about all things HBCUs, mental health, history, COVID-19, and racial justice. This intimate conversation reinforces the necessity and profound importance of the HBCU experience. The team goes beyond the standard surface HBCU talk, to get to the core of why every young black student needs to at minimum apply to at least one HBCU as part of their college admissions process. Dr. Makola M. Abdullah: On February 1, 2016, Makola M. Abdullah, Ph.D. became the 14th President of Virginia State University (VSU). In his remarks during his introduction to the Trojan family, President Abdullah outlined his four core beliefs: I believe in God. I believe in family. I believe in the transformative nature of education. I believe in Virginia State University.President Abdullah also emphasized several focus areas to sustain VSU as an 1890 Land-Grant University. The areas of focus include providing a transformative experience for students, strategically investing in academic programs, partnering with others as a university to tell the VSU story, embracing the University’s Land Grant Mission and embracing VSU’s role as Virginia’s Opportunity University.Under President Abdullah’s leadership, the University has experienced some significant achievements.Recognized as one of the nation’s top 20 “Best Colleges for African Americans” by ESSENCE magazine.Established partnerships with local public school systems wherein VSU students tutor students in mathematics and reading,Opened the Academic Center of Excellence as a one-stop hub for first-year students to receive career and academic advising and tutorial services. In July 2017, the Commonwealth of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe presented the inaugural Outstanding State Stewardship Award to VSU for the preservation of Summerseat, an historic house built around 1860 near VSU.Established the University’s Advisory Board for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer/Questioning Intersex Ally+ (LGBTQIA+) Inclusion to investigate ways for the institution to be a more affirming learning environment for all students, faculty and staff within the LGBTQIA+ community.In June of 2018, the University was named the HBCU of the Year and awarded Best Board of Trustees of the Year and Female Student of the Year by HBCU Digest, an online blog. Additionally, in 2017, President Abdullah was named the HBCU Male President of the Year.Ranked as the No. 19 historically black college or university (HBCUs) on the 2019 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges rankings. This is up 12 spots from the 2018 rankings where the University was ranked No. 31. Also, the University was ranked as the No. 8 public HBCU.President Abdullah is an academic administrator committed to excellence. He is also an internationally-renowned educator recognized for outstanding research. Prior to his appointment as president of Virginia State University, Dr. Abdullah served as provost and senior vice president at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla. (2013-2016), provost and vice president for academic affairs at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, Fla. (2011-2013), and dean and director of 1890 land grant programs at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee, Fla (2008-2011).Dr. Abdullah is a Chicago native. He earned his undergraduate degree from Howard University in civil engineering and his doctorate and master’s degrees in civil engineering from Northwestern University.

We are likely to stand in line to get the latest smart phone technology — so why do we fear technology in food? In this delightful episode, Dr. Kevin Folta makes Eliz and Michele roar with laughter and sheds light on genetics, technology, and how to he’s working to make strawberries taste better. We discuss how science is working to solve important problems for people and the environment. Kevin is a professor in plant molecular biology that publishes frequently in the genetics of fruit flavor and light regulation of plant traits. He has been a fixture in the public discussion of genetic engineering and food for almost two decades, and is recognized for his communications work with scientists and farmers. He has also hosted the weekly Talking Biotech Podcast for over 200 episodes and 1 million downloads. Key points: There is intellectual property in food. Like an author’s book is intellectual property, seeds and plants are created and carry the same rights. Selective breeding is like being a “strawberry pimp.” Genetic terms: Genetic Modification: an imprecise term meant to convey a creepy distance from food. Scientists don’t use the term GMO. Genetic Engineering: an imprecise term for using science to change a plant. It is better than modified. Would you rather drive across an engineered bridge or a modified bridge? Transgenics: Specific type of engineering that changes a plant by inserting a gene from another organism. For example a bacteria to make the plant resistant to disease. It is like going to the library and putting a new book on the shelf. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats): Specific type of engineering that involves gene editing. It is like going to the library and erasing a letter or two from one book and alter its meaning. Genetic engineering technology is so precise that it can be tested to make sure it is doing exactly what is intended without any other effects or changes. The likelihood of side effects are very low. Only one gene is changing. Regulations require a tremendous amount of data. Selective breeding isn’t tested and creates many collateral outcomes that are not intended. For example, corn during selective breeding often incorporate 5000 new genes. We regulate the least risky technology to death. Kevin has been bullied by people who have entrenched interests against technology, including non-stop freedom of information act requests and threats. Scientists need to show how technology can solve very important problems for people and the environment. Solutions are available to help starving people around the world, and we don’t use it because of the fear. Tips to overcome Food Bullying: Listen to scientists and ask questions of scientists. Make the phone ring at your Land Grant University. Follow trusted sources. Eat a variety of healthy foods.

As a 1890 Land Grant institution, Central State University is charged with using the land as a resource to further the education of its students. Through agricultural studies, we are continuing to push science and technology further and into new frontiers. That includes the study of hemp. What is Central State University working on right now to further hemp research and viability in Ohio? Find out in our first episode of “There is More to CSU,” which explores what it means to be an 1890 Land Grant University and how that is pushing us into new territory.
Agriculture is a remarkably complex, fascinating, and important topic. We all eat of course, but often we don't know much about the story of our food, how it gets produced, where it comes from, how technology, for example, can help provide wholesome, healthy, and safe food, and more. There are some remarkable people out there who see the big picture and who understand both the past and future of agriculture. One such person is our guest, Richard Linton. About Richard Linton Richard Linton is the dean of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. He earned a doctorate in Food Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. His research focus encompasses modeling the growth and inactivation of foodborne pathogens such as Listeria, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella within different food systems, and; development of rapid detection technologies for biological and chemical foodborne hazards. Throughout his career, Richard has worked with various segments of the food and agricultural industry integrating applied research projects and impactful outreach programs. Nationally, he has been recognized by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) for his leadership in research and outreach programs with the Howard Macy Award and the Myron Solberg Award. Interview Summary So let's begin with this. You're in a land grant university, but not everyone might know what land grant universities are, or why they're so important in agriculture. Can you explain? Sure. I can tell you from firsthand experience, there's a lot of research and education and outreach that's dedicated to agriculture and food systems going on at the Land Grant University system around the United States. I earned a bachelor's, master's and PhD all at Virginia Tech University, and my career has expanded across three other land grant universities, Purdue University as a faculty member, the Ohio State University as a department head, and now very proudly as the Dean at NC State university. A Land Grant University is focused on serving the people. It's the people's university through research, teaching and outreach. And the outreach component is done through a cooperative extension that works through teaching. We produce an educated workforce ready to tackle the grand challenges of agriculture and food systems. Through research and extension combined, we create new tools and innovations, and then we share this information with the citizens of our state. For example, if we identify a new technology or a new production practice at the farm level that could improve coin yield, we would utilize our vast extension network to share this information, and educate farmers on the benefits. We can do that throughout the state because of our strong cooperative extension network. We're the only country in the world that has universities that are focused on the land grant mission, and have this broad cooperative extension message to translate this information to end-users. So Rich, let's go right to some of those big picture issues that you just referred to as grand challenges. What do you see the grand challenges being for agriculture today? Arguably the most important one is finding solutions to help feed our rapidly growing population. From the years 2000 to 2050, our global population will nearly double, and we must find a way to feed them. And that's not an easy challenge. New innovations will be to essential to improving yields for plant and animal products, despite facing new disease, decreasing farmland, less access to water, and increasing environmental concerns. This past year, the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Mathematics published a report that identified by breakthrough areas that will be critical to explore if we want to be able to feed a growing population. First and foremost, we need to create a systems-based approach. We need to focus on understanding the nature of interaction among the different elements that incorporate the food and agricultural system, and how they can be leveraged to increase overall system efficiency, resilience and sustainability. This report also went on to say that rapid detection and monitoring system, and application and integration of data science, gene editing, and an increased understanding of the microbiome, will all be essential creating a successful and sustainable future. That connection between human health and agriculture and food systems was also identified as a key need for research and education. Prior to the National Academy report that I just mentioned, the Association Of Public And Land Grant Universities, or APLU, assembled to be able to put together a committee to improve human health and reduce chronic disease, things like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, by integrating food, environment and agricultural systems through alignment of science, education, community engagement, and strategic partnerships. This is an important issue. This is a critical issue for agriculture. In order to feed our people and keep them healthy, it will require significant effort and a drastic change in our approach, and that new approach needs to start happening now. While we're doing a good job with agriculture research, and an equally good job with human health research, we don't do a very good job of leveraging them together. We are not lacking in development of new technologies. What we need to do is focus more on consumer education and effective education for the end user, the farmer, and the agribusiness person. Then hopefully we can increase the rate at which new technologies are embraced. Tell me how North Carolina State University and North Carolina itself are in a unique position to tackle some of these big challenges, and are there some of the key areas that your own college is focused on? It's a great question, Kelly. I don't know of any other state in the nation that has the capacity to partner and lead like we do in North Carolina. North Carolina has a very robust agriculture and life science industry. North Carolina State, North Carolina A&T State university, are a lead agricultural university. The University at North Carolina, Chapel Hill tops in public health, and Duke of course is a world leader in policy. There are several large life science businesses like Syngenta and Bayer Crop Science that are conducting research in our state, as well as hundreds of entrepreneurs and small business people. We have the benefit of being located within about 20 miles of research triangle park, where there are over 650 life science companies. In addition to the tremendous amount of talent and industry developing in our area, we are also fortunate to live in a very agriculturally diverse state. We have many different soil types and climates, and over 90 different commodity groups. As a university we have 18 different research stations and 10 field laboratories spread across the state to take advantage of the soil and climate diversity, and our cooperative extension network is the second largest in the country. NC state partners with community leaders in all 100 counties to identify and develop solutions for local challenges. Our college is focused on five programmatic areas, the plant sciences initiative, the North Carolina food innovation laboratory, the food animal initiative, student access and leadership programs, with additional resources slated to improve water use and water management, and of course what we're talking about today to build a better connection between human health and agriculture in food systems. So it's very impressive how diverse North Carolina is, as an agriculture state. I was impressed with that when I moved here nearly six years ago, and it's really been eye-opening, and I'm happy you are able to highlight that. Let me move on to a little bit different topic. You were appointed by the governor of North Carolina as the chair of the Food Manufacturing Task Force, a group that evaluated the opportunities to grow food manufacturing and in North Carolina. Can you talk a little bit about the work of the task force, and are there lessons from that, that might apply nationally? Yeah. In North Carolina as a state and an NC state, we're trying to tackle the challenges of plant systems and agriculture from all angles in all aspects. The plant sciences initiative will be housed in Raleigh, North Carolina, and this looks at improving yield and quality of plants. But we also have the plants for human health institute that's located in Kannapolis, North Carolina, that identifies health-promoting compounds from plants that are used to prevent disease. The North Carolina Food Manufacturing Initiative's goal was to produce new and novel food products that are considered value added, and that they are more convenient for consumers, they taste better, and or they can be beneficial to health. This summer we will open the North Carolina Food Innovation Laboratory also to be housed in Kannapolis, North Carolina. This new initiative will help us find solutions to new, value-added products. Another goal of this initiative is to find ways to grow the agricultural economy in North Carolina. An economic feasibility study showed that value-added plant products could boost to our economy in North Carolina by more than $10 billion, and create thousands of new jobs, adding to an already strong $87 billion agricultural economy. Another great reason that the North Carolina food innovation lab makes really good sense to do, I think what we've seen nationally, is other land grant universities trying to mimic some of the great work that we're doing here at North Carolina State in the connection between plant systems and productivity, and human health. But also things that can be done for the state to be able to create jobs and boost the economy. So all very good reasons to move in this direction.
Dr. Susan Fritz joins Innovators to talk about the University of Nebraska and other Land Grant institutions across the country, and their role in higher education, policy, and their place in the world. Dr. Fritz is the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Dean of the Graduate College at the University of Nebraska. She recently spent several months as the interim president of the University of Nebraska, becoming the first woman to hold that title. She earned her bachelor's (in business administration), master's (in adult education and agricultural education), and doctoral degree (in community and Human Resources) all from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Innovators is a podcast production of Harris Search Associates. The show is produced by Grant Burkhardt. (This interview was conducted in late August, before NU appointed a permanent president to replace Dr. Fritz in her interim role.) *The views and opinions shared by the guests on Innovators do not necessarily reflect the views of the interviewee's institution or organization.*

Land Grant is a new podcast about the Land Grant University system. Each episode will focus on one aspect of the education or extension mandate of the Land Grant system.
I've always been a big supporter of our Land Grant University extension and research programs. Growing up in 4-H had me acquainted with their efforts from the start. Continuing education in the college of agriculture had a natural integration through my undergraduate years, and my graduate research program allowed me to dive even deeper working closely with a state Beef Cattle Extension Specialist. Today, I still work with these programs by volunteering on the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station State Advisory Council. So, am always excited to catch up with our Extension and Research faculty to help share the stories of their important contributions in the agriculture communities across the country. Episode 009 of the Agriculture Proud podcast features guest Dr. Megan Van Emon, Montana Beef Cattle Extension Specialist located in Miles City, Montana. Dr. Van Emon also works on a USDA-ARS research station, Fort Keogh, so she has the opportunity to serve and be involved in a number of great projects working for Montana cattle ranchers. I recently caught up with Dr. Van Emon to learn more about her story becoming involved in the agriculture community. Like me, she moved West to follow a passion for working with ranchers who are great stewards of our land, raising some amazing cattle. The Montana State University Beef Extension team does a great job making their research findings available online for users to find and share. You can follow their Facebook page – Montana State University Beef Cattle Extension – to find their updates. They have also set up a website where we can easily access the annual College of Agriculture and Extension Research Report to stay informed about their latest research work. Be sure to connect with Dr. Van Emon on Twitter (show some love so she'll tweet a bit more!) and you can find her contact information here. You can definitely tell she has a passion for working with ranchers and helping others learn more about our favorite topic – beef cattle ranching.

Ethnic Studies, Academic Freedom, and the Value of Scholarship
Adela C. Licona Abstract: My talk, “Teaching & Learning at a Land Grant University: A Commitment to Local Knowledge,” begins with Steven Goldzwigʼs concept of “critical localism.” I consider how this concept calls us to become familiar with local knowledges, histories, discourses, and practices, and further consider what such a calling might look like in the rhetorical studies classroom. I argue that a pedagogy informed by critical localism is relevant and meaningful especially in land grant institutions and that such a pedagogy, coupled with the mission of the land grant institution, commit us to the teaching of Ethnic studies. I am especially indebted to Professor Steven Goldzwig for his work, and particularly his concept of critical localism, which continues to inspire and inform my teaching. Anyone interested in a transcript of the talk, or a complete list of references, should feel free to contact me directly. Dr. Licona is Assistant Professor in the UA's Department of English. She is a member of numerous professional organizations and has published extensively in the professional literature.
Part of keeping our industry strong is performing quality research to ensure we are getting the most out of our pigs as possible. To do that, we need quality researchers and institutions that are willing to work together. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Bob Thaler about the role that universities and production systems play in the industry and how we can work together and train grad students to all perform high-quality research that is beneficial to the industry. “The Ag industry is really small, you will be doing business with the people sitting next to you in college. Make those relationships and develop connections early because in the future you will then have several friends in the industry that want to help you” - Dr. Bob ThalerWhat you'll learn:The University's role in swine researchTransitioning research into production Studies on hybrid ryeEnergy and trial setupAbove ground burial for ASF outbreakGetting more students into grad schoolMeet the guest: Dr. Robert Thaler graduated in 1988 from K-State with a Ph.D. in swine nutrition. He received bachelor's and master's degrees from South Dakota State University. He returned to SDSU to serve as a swine extension specialist, teacher, and in administrative roles. Bob is a staunch supporter of the Land Grant University mission. His passion is to provide practical solutions for producers and in mentoring students. He has served in leadership capacities for the American Society of Animal Science and the National Pork Board. His numerous awards include the 2013 "Master of the Pork Industry" from the National Hog Farmer, SDSU College of Ag and Biological Science "Teacher of the Year" twice, and the 2021 SDSU distinguished professor award.
