Proud to see @12News highlight how our @uarizonaCALES fashion students are blending sustainability with community service. The upcoming Dogs N Denim show features upcycled student designs modeled by local service dogs. Real-world land-grant in action. https://t.co/mRIaqkUria

How do we support tribal ranchers? By listening first. Proud of @UArizonaCALES Extension teams for delivering tailored integrated pest management & New World screwworm preparedness training driven directly by tribal priorities.

Proud to see @UArizonaCALES alum Jessica Bowron ‘07, Acting Director @NatlParkService, sharing her expertise on Fox News. Her career is a great example of the many ways our graduates put their education to work serving the public.

It was a pleasure to meet Josett Clark and her colleagues during my visit to Yuma last week! Our Yuma Soil Health Lab is building local research capacity to put @UArizonaCALES science to work helping local growers address soil health challenges.

How can wheat and cotton growers get more from every pound of fertilizer?

At Maricopa Agricultural Center, @UAZCoopExt researchers are testing enhanced-efficiency fertilizers to help growers improve yields, reduce nutrient losses, and strengthen ROI 🌾

Greener" doesn't always mean healthier.

40 years of satellite data reveal that while rising CO2 boosts plant growth in wet years, it creates a severe "boom-and-bust" volatility during dry years across 80% of global drylands. 🛰️🌦️🍃https://t.co/z7zuwdfhcN

It was a privilege to welcome members of the Arizona Governor’s Cabinet to our Santa Rita Experimental Range last week and share how @UArizonaCALES research and partnerships are helping address challenges facing our state’s bioeconomy.

Arizona cotton growers are seeing the impact of @UArizonaCALES science in the field. Since 1996, our Extension IPM program has helped avoid $1B in insecticide costs and insect-related yield losses. Approx. 50% of AZ cotton acres needed no foliar insecticide in 2025.

Met with plant pathologist Christopher Detrenaltes today. His Yuma Plant Health Clinic processed 400+ samples in FY26, providing rapid plant disease and disorder diagnoses. 90% of these diagnostics serve pest control advisors and growers.

[George Smith @GeorgeSmithUofA]

Had a great visit this afternoon with the team at Yuma County @UAZCoopExt . With strong support from their community and volunteers, they are able to deliver a wide range of programs in plant pathology, 4-H, agriculture, dental screenings, and more!

From ranch to range to research, @UArizonaCALES is connecting the pieces of Arizona’s beef industry to support producers and prepare the next generation of agricultural leaders. 🐂

A sneak peek from last night’s @UArizonaCALES ceremony honoring the achievements of our alumni and friends, including Karen Geldmacher. It is inspiring to learn more about the impacts these leaders are having in their professions and communities. More photos to come!
