Khaled Bali, interim director of Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, and Ashraf El-Kereamy, director of Lindcove Research and Extension Center, organized displays at booths inside Pavilion A to publicize the research performed by the RECs. Staff handed out mandarins and showed visitors the different sorghum varieties being studied.

In addition, UCCE specialists and advisors delivered a series of dairy seminars on the latest research and best practices – from innovations in feed and nutrient management to cutting-edge technology in water and manure management.

TheLindcove team also hosted a citrus tour and tasting of citrus varieties for expo attendees.
