April 12, 2024 | Written by Gina Crist, Community Health Specialist and Health and Well-Being Program LeaderDid you know Extension has a group of volunteers that work across the state to support health and wellness?

Each volunteer has received training and is equipped with knowledge about health equity, youth and adult partnerships, and social determinants of health. Master Wellness Volunteers serve as Walk Club Leaders, Community and School Garden Coordinators, Mindfulness and Well-being Educators and Food Educators - serving the community in a variety of ways.

Selecting a Drone for Crop Scouting
April 08, 2024 | Written by Jarrod Miller, Agronomy SpecialistAfter ten years the drone market has become fairly reliable, but it may still be confusing when deciding what kind of drone you may want. There are several types of drones available, with the most common being a quadcopter, which could be considered a micro-helicopter with four propellers (Figure 1a). Other options include a fixed-wing (airplane, Figure 1b), hybrid, or coaxial. A hybrid will take off like a quadcopter by flying like an airplane, helping land in tight spaces but using less battery during flight. Both fixed-wing and hybrids are better for field mapping useful in reconstructing whole fields for precision agriculture applications. For field scouting, the best option is the standard quadcopter, particularly as it can hover overtop of the field, stop at the edges, and land on the back of a truck. -
Turfgrass Nutrient Management - Debunking Some Common Myths

I am not exactly sure how these myths became ingrained in the industry, but nevertheless, they are present. Honestly, it is irrelevant as to why they are present, but what is important is the question, “How do we get rid of them?”. The answer is simple. The truth! The following list is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully, this piece will clear up some of the most common myths.
