Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Terry Quam returns to share how he hosted science teachers from major cities on his Wisconsin ranch through the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture’s Farm STEM program, funded in part by the Beef Checkoff. The experience gave teachers a firsthand look at cattle genetics, beef production and the work that goes into producing the beef consumers enjoy. Terry also explains how Beef Checkoff dollars are allocated, why producer education and consumer outreach matter, and how science-based information can help address misconceptions about agriculture.
