The keynote speaker at the 2012 K-State Research and Extension annual
conference: the president of Montana State University and a staunch
advocate of the land-grant university system, Waded Cruzado, talks
about the present and future of land-grant education, research and
Extension outreach...a model that she says is every bit as relevant
today as it was when created 150 years ago

Also, visits with two more Extension agricultural agents who are
attending the conference, about their local agricultural programs:
crop production agent Chris Long of the Walnut Creek Extension
district in west-central Kansas, and agricultural agent Matt Clark of
Kingman County in south-central Kansas

And for this week's horticulture segment, K-State horticulturist
Ward Upham talks about mid-fall lawn management and storing summer
flower bulbs for the winter
