 Hi, my name is Greg Lardy, Vice President for Agricultural Affairs here at NDSU. The coronavirus pandemic has created an unprecedented time in each of our lives. In this issue of the Forland and Its People magazine, you'll read about the ways our faculty and staff and Extension personnel are adjusting to this pandemic. For instance, you'll read about Rob Maddox's efforts to deliver his live and carcass animal eval class online through virtual programming. You'll hear about how our EES greenhouse is adapting and adjusting to the pandemic by implementing new procedures to ensure the safety of our staff, students, and faculty. And you'll read about stories from our Extension personnel who are delivering high-quality virtual programming across the state to make sure that our constituents and taxpayers continue to be informed about how to deal with the pandemic. I'm very proud of the work that our faculty, staff, and Extension personnel are doing across the state. They've adjusted to the pandemic in dramatic fashion by shifting to online programming, developing virtual classes, and continuing to conduct high-quality research. This meets the needs of our industry across the state and is continuing to educate the next generation of students. I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about North Dakota State University's land grant mission. And I'd invite you to subscribe to our newsletter For the Land and Its People by clicking the subscribe button that you'll find in this email. Thank you for taking the time to listen, stay healthy, and go bison.
