The LSU AgCenter is conducting a study to better understand how homeowners make decisions about resilient home improvements, particularly roofing upgrades. The information collected will help us identify the costs, barriers, information needs, and incentives that influence these decisions and improve the resources available to homeowners. We need your help. Would you be willing to take a survey to contribute to the study?

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, you may choose to enter a drawing for a $50 gift card.

Take the survey: https://lsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0Jsr81XkBsZlqCy
You do not need to be familiar with FORTIFIED Roof™ standards or programs to participate. This study has been reviewed and approved by the LSU AgCenter Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

On June 12th, eighteen producers from across the state graduated from the Advanced Master Cattleman Program at the Hill Farm Research Station.

Advanced Master Cattleman began in 2019 as a subsequent course to the Master Cattleman Program. It was designed to provide in-depth discussions and presentations on various topics and include hands-on training. Producers must successfully complete the Master Cattleman prior to registering for Advanced Master Cattleman. Classes are taught by AgCenter experts and cover topics including bull selection, BQA, financial management, soil fertility, forage management and diet formulation. Outdoor demonstrations and hands-on training feature sprayer calibration, w**d identification, grazing management and cow pelvic area measurement.
