Hello, CALS,
This week, please join us for the annual Hertz Lecture on Emerging Issues in Agriculture given by Mark Stutsman of Eldon C. Stutsman, Inc., a 91-year-old family company in Iowa serving the agriculture industry in a wide variety of ways. It's a great story of leadership, perseverance and looking around the corner. The lecture will take place on Tuesday, April 15, at 4:30 p.m. in Dolezal Auditorium (127 Curtiss Hall).
Last week, we held a CALS Chat in the Snedecor Building where the statistics department has its home. We had terrific attendance, a visit by LAS Dean Ben Withers and the most excellent cookies from the kitchen of Dan and Karen Nettleton! First time ever we had home-baked goods for a CALS Chat! Sounds like a challenge.... Great thanks to Alison Parker for making these college events happen.
We also had our spring semester Town Hall on Thursday last week. A video recording of that will be posted soon.
In today's newspaper, it was reported that our friends in the Iowa Pork Producers Association won three national awards from the National Agri-Marketing Association for the promotional campaign featuring Cyclones football players, Purchase Moore Hamann Bacon" :-).
Have a great week. My best, Dan
