Last week was an enjoyable vacation in Colorado which was sandwiched around the joint American Society of Animal Science and Dairy Science Association Conference. The ASAS is one of two professional societies that I continue to be active in. Special thanks to Pennie Crinion who served as the acting associate dean in my absence.
Reports are that it was hot.
But the meeting was great. Dean Chicoine will request that the Illinois Department of Agriculture include this amount for CBM in their budgets. When the figures are available I will share them with you. It will be important that Council members and clientele be aware of the process, time lines and be involved. A series of meetings over the plans for the South Farms are occurring this summer.
