At the landmark conference where research scientists and Extension specialists from the 1890 Land-Grant Institutions met together for the first time, nearly a third of the 40 research projects and Cooperative Extension outreaches selected for premiers were from the SAES. The project and program presentations were divided into six categories, by discipline areas, and of the six first-place winners, four were the work of SAES faculty and staff. The PowerPoint presentations covering the four SAES programs and projects that won first-place in their discipline areas are “Discover Agriculture” (Dr. Keith Baldwin and Travella Free); “Parenting Matters” (Dr. Jean Baldwin) ; “Conversion of Cheese Whey into Value-Added Products” (Drs. Shahbazi and Li) ; and “Nitrogen Cycling in Constructed Wetlands as Related to Swine Wastewater” (Drs. Reddy and Phillips).

Although there was no formal award for putting the best feet forward at the state-by-state roll call that kicked off the conference, the SAES stole the show. A video clip of Aggie Pride at its best is here.
