Each @MSUExtService office in the state serves as a resource for the agriculture producers in their coverage areas, but that’s just a fraction of the work they do. https://t.co/KDWKydNSef

The pandemic didn't stop José and Terry Barron from learning new things with MSU Extension! From forestry to chronic wasting disease, they took advantage of the Extension webinars offered in their county.

Spring weather conditions have been perfect for brown spot needle blight and symptoms of the disease are becoming quite obvious now as infected needles begin to brown and drop from the tree. Symptoms often are more severe in the lower canopy where humidity is higher. #MSUext

[Calhoun County Extension @CalhounCoExt]

It’s a far cry from a farmer towing a 15-foot wagon of hand-picked cotton behind a tractor, but Mike Bowen’s cotton gin in Randolph preserves a piece of the local historical landscape while making it part of the modern economy. https://t.co/8hmyLVgUNO
