A big thank you to all farmers on #NationalFarmersDay. We value their partnership and efforts to produce the food, fiber and fuel we need throughout Michigan and around the world.

I had a great time at Gust Brothers Pumpkin Farm in Ottawa Lake, Michigan. Agritourism at its finest. Thanks for the hospitality!

I appreciated meeting with the Lansing Agriculture and Natural Resources Club last night to talk about challenges and opportunities with agrivoltaics, which brings solar panels into agricultural fields. We discussed the need for research to help make informed decisions.

Thanks to Michigan Rep. Jerry Neyer, chair of the House Ag Committee, for visiting our Lake City Research Center. The facility is home to world-class research on beef cattle and regenerative agriculture.

Thank you to @SenEdMcBroom for visiting the new @michiganstateu Dairy Teaching and Research Center. This world-class facility wouldn’t have been possible without support from Michigan legislators.

Zeeland Farm Services has served MI agriculture since 1950. Ben Glass, seed division and specialty program manager at ZFS, said unbiased @michiganstateu research is vital to the state's soybean industry. @CANRatMSU @MichiganSoybean @MichDeptofAg READ: https://t.co/Yxd9JRsoCo

Thanks to Grant Walker, Director of Milkvale Farms, Mark Brooking, Chief Impact Officer from @first_milk and friends from Tellus Matter for a wonderful dairy farm tour in Lockerbie, Scotland. We had a great discussion on regenerative dairy operations.

A big thank you to @BetterMade and VP Phil Gusmano for inviting the @MSUAgBio leadership team, potato researchers and @MIPotatoes executive director Kelly Turner to tour the Better Made facility in Detroit today. We appreciate the strong partnership among our organizations.

It was an honor to participate yesterday in Grand Rapids on a Tech Week panel discussion on One Health hosted by Chad Munger, founder and CEO of @MammothSpirits. Great to join the deans of @MSUNatSci, @msuvets, College of Nursing and Sr. VP of Health Sciences Norm Hubbard.

Apple picking has begun at the @michiganstateu Plant Pathology Research Center for the @glfoodbank. So far, more than 500 bushels have been filled. A special thanks to all of the food bank and @DeltaDentalMI volunteers.

I spoke with @MichiganMilk's Sheila Burkhardt about the importance of funding for @michiganstateu research. Without it, she said: "That would mean losing years of progress in the research area." Hear our conversation here: https://t.co/du2dWan8ZC @MSUnews @CANRatMSU @AgIsAmerica

The Michigan Alliance for Animal Agriculture (M-AAA) backs @michiganstateu research that advances Michigan's animal ag industries, like Dr. Adam Lock’s work on high oleic soybeans that's boosting the dairy industry. @CANRatMSU @MSUnews @msuresearch READ: https://t.co/c3SOJ6cR1i

Exciting to tour and see progress on new @michiganstateu Plant and Environmental Sciences Building. Will be a boon to Michigan agriculture and our plant science community.
