line:10% size:45% They also, that wool lab is kind of an innovative, 40:41.266 --> 40:44.433 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% for a industry called Duckworth Wool. 40:44.433 --> 40:47.433 align:start position:42.5% line:10% size:11.25% - Yes. - And that's been one 40:47.433 --> 40:49.333 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% of the offshoots of the wool lab here. 40:49.333 --> 40:53.300 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:33.75% So it's a pride of Montana State University. 40:53.300 --> 40:54.366 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% It has been for years, 40:54.366 --> 40:56.533 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% and I'm glad we're expanding that. 40:56.533 --> 40:59.866 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% - It is, it is certainly a source of pride. 40:59.866 --> 41:04.066 align:start position:35% line:10% size:26.25% And the 15,000 samples are going up. 41:04.066 --> 41:06.233 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% Last year, we had a record year, 41:06.233 --> 41:08.333 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% so that bodes well for the future 41:08.333 --> 41:10.133 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% of wood production in the state. 41:10.133 --> 41:11.700 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% And again, we want to be there. 41:11.700 --> 41:14.200 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% We want to partner with the producers 41:14.200 --> 41:15.300 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% and to make sure that they are 41:15.300 --> 41:17.066 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% as successful as we can be because 41:17.066 --> 41:18.966 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% it's high-quality wool. - It is. 41:18.966 --> 41:21.766 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% - That's what we produce in Montana. 41:21.766 --> 41:23.833 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% - Along with a lot of other high-quality crops, 41:23.833 --> 41:26.400 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% like barley, and wheat, and so forth and so on. 41:26.400 --> 41:28.600 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% And we do a good job here in Montana. 41:29.733 --> 41:33.233 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% Jane, the interesting question from McCone County, 41:33.233 --> 41:36.233 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% this caller wants to know if paraquat is dangerous. 41:36.233 --> 41:38.033 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% His memory is that paraquat 41:38.033 --> 41:40.900 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% was a component of Agent Orange used in Vietnam. 41:40.900 --> 41:42.166 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% And I don't think that is correct. 41:42.166 --> 41:44.033 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% I think it was 2,4,5-T. 41:44.033 --> 41:45.933 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% - Yeah, I agree Jack. 41:45.933 --> 41:48.366 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% - He is receiving advertisements 41:48.366 --> 41:52.166 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% for paraquat as being widely touted 41:52.166 --> 41:53.500 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% and used throughout the world. 41:53.500 --> 41:55.766 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:45% And he's quite concerned about crop dusting with it. 41:55.766 --> 41:56.900 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% I don't think we're using 41:56.900 --> 41:59.166 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% much paraquat anymore, are we? 41:59.166 --> 42:01.466 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% - You know, the best person to talk to about this 42:01.466 --> 42:02.933 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% would be Cecil Tharp, 42:02.933 --> 42:07.133 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% he's our pesticide safety and education specialist. 42:07.133 --> 42:09.800 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% But the viewer is correct. 42:09.800 --> 42:13.833 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% It's one of the most dangerous herbicides, 42:13.833 --> 42:16.666 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% if not the most dangerous herbicide that we use 42:16.666 --> 42:19.233 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% in kind of the weed control industry. 42:19.233 --> 42:22.033 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% And I'm not gonna remember the details, 42:22.033 --> 42:25.000 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% but recently and really ongoing, 42:25.000 --> 42:27.033 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% we see different regulations, 42:27.033 --> 42:30.333 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% safety regulations surrounding the use of paraquat. 42:30.333 --> 42:34.166 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% So that's why I think talking to Dr. Cecil Tharp 42:34.166 --> 42:36.033 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% would be the best. 42:36.033 --> 42:37.466 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% - And we'll get his phone number. 42:37.466 --> 42:40.566 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% Maybe not right now, but we'll have it. 42:40.566 --> 42:41.833 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% - Do you think there's more ads 42:41.833 --> 42:45.266 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% because of the lack of glyphosate availability or? 42:45.266 --> 42:48.400 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% - Possibly, I mean, paraquat is a burndown herbicide, 42:48.400 --> 42:53.400 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% and it's used with herbicide-resistant weeds, 42:54.266 --> 42:56.333 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% like Kochia and wild oat. 42:56.333 --> 42:57.766 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% So some of these weeds we have 42:57.766 --> 42:59.633 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% that have developed resistance 42:59.633 --> 43:01.300 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% to multiple modes of action, 43:02.166 --> 43:05.100 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:33.75% paraquat is one of the last herbicides 43:05.100 --> 43:07.500 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% we have available to use on some of these. 43:07.500 --> 43:09.766 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% So I think that could be why 43:09.766 --> 43:12.033 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% he's hearing more about it. 43:12.033 --> 43:14.866 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% - I think there's some lawsuits, 43:14.866 --> 43:18.500 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% class-action lawsuits being advertised with paraquat. 43:18.500 --> 43:21.100 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% And I suspect that creates some... 43:21.100 --> 43:23.066 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% I think diquat, which is safer, 43:23.066 --> 43:25.666 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% has kind of replaced paraquat 43:25.666 --> 43:28.233 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% as a burndown in a lot of situations. 43:28.233 --> 43:31.366 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% But anyway, we'll have more information on that. 43:31.366 --> 43:33.966 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% It's a great question, and thanks for asking it. 43:35.733 --> 43:38.966 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% President Cruzado, this is a Facebook question 43:38.966 --> 43:40.466 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% from John in Dylan. 43:40.466 --> 43:43.800 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% And I think it's J-O-N and not J-O-H-N. 43:43.800 --> 43:45.600 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% The person, he is interested 43:45.600 --> 43:47.333 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% in majoring in ag at MSU. 43:48.800 --> 43:51.300 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% He would like to know if a career 43:51.300 --> 43:54.100 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% in international agriculture is feasible 43:54.100 --> 43:56.366 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% if he gets a degree here at MSU. 43:56.366 --> 43:57.200 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% And he'd also like to know 43:57.200 --> 43:59.733 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% is MSU involved internationally, 43:59.733 --> 44:02.033 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% and how could students become involved there? 44:02.033 --> 44:04.033 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% A lot of questions there. 44:04.033 --> 44:07.166 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% - Wow, that is fantastic. 44:07.166 --> 44:10.733 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% So the the answer to Jon, 44:10.733 --> 44:13.700 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% to many questions is yes. 44:13.700 --> 44:17.333 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% We have a great Office of International Programs 44:17.333 --> 44:19.366 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% at Montana State University. 44:20.400 --> 44:24.300 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% We just hired a new wonderful dean. 44:24.300 --> 44:28.566 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% His name is Kristof Zaba, Z-A-B-A. 44:29.900 --> 44:32.066 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% I think his, well, 44:32.066 --> 44:34.600 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% easier for me to give you my email address, 44:34.600 --> 44:38.266 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% wcruzado@montana.edu, 44:38.266 --> 44:42.500 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% and I will refer you to Kristof Zaba. 44:45.866 --> 44:48.433 align:start position:38.75% line:10% size:20.63% Before I go specifically to that, 44:48.433 --> 44:51.033 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% we would welcome, of course, 44:51.033 --> 44:53.466 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% more students in the College of Agriculture, 44:53.466 --> 44:56.266 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% although I need to say, in the last few years, 44:56.266 --> 44:57.600 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% our College of Agriculture 44:57.600 --> 45:00.866 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% has been experiencing incredible growth. 45:02.000 --> 45:04.466 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% For example, this last fall, 45:04.466 --> 45:07.400 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% we were less than 80 students short 45:07.400 --> 45:09.566 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% of crossing, for the first time, 45:09.566 --> 45:11.900 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% a mark of 2,000 students 45:11.900 --> 45:13.733 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% in the College of Agriculture. 45:13.733 --> 45:14.866 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% That is good news, 45:14.866 --> 45:17.066 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% not only for Montana State University, 45:17.066 --> 45:19.700 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% that's great news for the nation. 45:22.366 --> 45:24.633 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% This spring semester, actually, 45:24.633 --> 45:28.366 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% student enrollment has grown by an additional 4% 45:28.366 --> 45:30.400 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% when compared to last spring. 45:30.400 --> 45:33.533 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% So there is great interest in agriculture. 45:33.533 --> 45:35.700 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% We have fantastic programs. 45:35.700 --> 45:38.933 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% The faculty have done an incredible job 45:38.933 --> 45:41.833 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% making sure that our programs are up-to-date 45:41.833 --> 45:44.133 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% and actually very exciting in responding 45:44.133 --> 45:45.933 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% to the needs of the industry 45:45.933 --> 45:47.866 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% and to the interest of our students. 45:48.866 --> 45:51.033 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% Our vice president and dean 45:51.033 --> 45:52.466 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% of the College of Agriculture, 45:52.466 --> 45:54.533 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% her name is Sreekala Bajwa. 45:54.533 --> 45:57.133 align:start position:38.75% line:10% size:20.63% Sreekala is originally from India, 45:57.133 --> 45:58.300 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% and I'm sure that Sreekala 45:58.300 --> 45:59.933 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% would welcome an opportunity 45:59.933 --> 46:02.033 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% to talk directly with the student 46:02.033 --> 46:04.000 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% that's interested in this, 46:05.100 --> 46:07.000 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% in international agriculture. 46:08.000 --> 46:12.433 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% Last but not least, our Department of Ag Econ 46:12.433 --> 46:14.633 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% is world renowned. 46:14.633 --> 46:17.233 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% It has spectacular faculty members 46:17.233 --> 46:20.700 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% who are fantastic instructors and teachers, 46:20.700 --> 46:23.100 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% but also fantastic researchers. 46:23.100 --> 46:26.500 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% So I'm sure that the prospective student or students 46:26.500 --> 46:28.466 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% will have many options available 46:28.466 --> 46:31.100 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% in international agriculture at Montana State. 46:31.100 --> 46:32.366 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% Happy to help too. 46:32.366 --> 46:35.633 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% - I agree, if you get a degree in agriculture from MSU 46:35.633 --> 46:38.466 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% and if you have an interest in international agriculture, 46:38.466 --> 46:40.066 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% there's really nothing holding you back. 46:40.066 --> 46:42.100 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% - There's nothing, there's nothing holding him. 46:42.100 --> 46:44.233 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% - Okay, from Billings, 46:44.233 --> 46:46.366 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% this is an interesting one for Laurie, 46:46.366 --> 46:50.600 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% "Whatever happened to the bed bug pre-COVID scare 46:50.600 --> 46:52.533 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% that was around a couple years ago? 46:52.533 --> 46:54.366 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:33.75% Do we still have a problem with them?" 46:54.366 --> 46:55.600 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% - We do still have a problem with them. 46:55.600 --> 46:57.100 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% I actually didn't get very many samples 46:57.100 --> 46:58.000 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% in the last couple of years, 46:58.000
