Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The global pandemic put a strain on the national meat supply.  I combined efforts with Dr. Lyda Garcia at The Ohio State University and Dr. Jonathan Campbell from Penn State University to provide up-to-date information on the meat supply while trying to calm the fears.  Together, we developed talking points that was emailed to county agents throughout the three states.  Our efforts highlighted the need for more extension meat specialists in Land Grant Universities east of the Mississippi River.
