Kable Thurlow and Frank Wardynsk led some great discussions with local farmers from across the county about the importance of soil health in pastures!

You know you've made it when a senior health researcher in the audience texts your comms director to rave about your presentation.

That's exactly what happened to MSU Extension educators Christi Demitz and Laura Anderson at the Michigan Premier Public Health Conference this week!

"Loved Laura and Christi's lightning session at this conference! It's a great peek into areas of public health I don't work in directly."

We love getting these unsolicited reports from the field. And Christi and Laura, if you're seeing this, surprise! You have a fan club. 😀
