Woods note: The is the federal part that Cooperative Extension and State Experiment Stations fall under. One of the issues that has made it harder for NM is a lot more funding is done by competitive grants, we are a small school compared to Texas A & M. Purdue, UC Davis, Nebraska. Yet some of what has come out of NMSU has changed the world. Over 80% of the cotton in the world has ACLA 1517 gentics, the standard for weening weight comparison is 275 days by a formula developed at NMSU. Ivermectrin pore on and some of how it is used. So you do have a stake in how this is done. Please read and make your opinion known. Thank you.
USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture Seeks
Stakeholder Input on Food, Agriculture Priorities
Media Contact: Kelly

WASHINGTON, D.C.
August 27, 2018 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is soliciting stakeholder
input on the emerging needs and opportunities in food and agricultural
sciences through the “NIFA Listens: Investing in Science to Transform
Lives,” initiative.
“We invite our
stakeholders, scientists, and organizations from across the US agriculture
system and beyond to provide their input,” said NIFA Acting Director Tom
Shanower. “These sessions provide a chance for any interested party to help
ensure NIFA’s research, education, and extension investments effectively
and efficiently support the long-term prosperity and global preeminence of
U.S. Agriculture.”
These listening sessions
are your opportunity to provide feedback on these questions:
- “In
your field, what is the most-needed breakthrough in science/technology
that would advance your agricultural enterprise?”
- “When
considering all of agriculture, what is the greatest challenge that
should be addressed through NIFA’s research, education, and
extension?”
- “What
is your top priority in food and agricultural research, extension, or
education that NIFA should address?”
Four regional in-person
listening sessions will be held:
Thursday, Oct.
11, Hartford, Connecticut (RSVP by Thursday, Oct. 4)
Thursday, Oct. 18, New Orleans, Louisiana (RSVP by Thursday, Oct. 11)
Thursday, Oct. 25, Minneapolis, Minnesota (RSVP by Thursday, Oct. 18)
Thursday, Nov. 1, Albuquerque, New Mexico (RSVP by Wednesday, Oct. 25)
NIFA Listens
website is a one-stop informational hub to keep you up-to-date
on the sessions. Each session is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and end no
later than 5 p.m. Live webcast will be available for each session,
transcribed, and made available for playback. Session attendees must
register via NIFA Listens
websites. In addition, written comments may be provided
electronically through the stakeholder input form on the website or emailed
by NIFAlistens@nifa.usda.gov until Friday,
Nov. 30. Feedback is welcome through any of our submission methods and
will be gathered throughout the initiative.
Last year
NIFA Listening sessions focused on learning the top priorities NIFA should
address in agricultural research, extension and education and which science
opportunities to focus on. Stakeholders provided feedback that demonstrates
the interconnectedness of agricultural production, ecological, social,
economic, and technical challenges that face agriculture and the
interdependence between research, extension, and education. The information
gathered helped NIFA to prioritize work within and across science emphasis
areas, as well as identify gaps in programming.
NIFA’s mission is to invest in and advance agricultural research,
education, and extension to solve societal challenges. NIFA’s investments
in transformative science directly support the long-term prosperity and
global preeminence of U.S. agriculture. To learn more about NIFA’s impact
on agricultural sciences, visit www.nifa.usda.gov/impacts, sign up for
