Summer Intern McKenzie Rodriguez Last Blog

August 20, 2021 by virginia.moerbe

Hey y’all!

This is my last week at the Stiles Farm for the summer. I attended the Beef Cow 706 class at Texas A&M University in College Station on Tuesday and Wednesday. The class was super informational about the beef cow industry and took you through all the steps of processing a beef cow from start to finish. We were put into small groups and learned how to grade live cattle and meat. During the class we also learned how to butcher the back and front quarters of the cow. The rest of the week back at Stiles Farm we worked on an electrical fence in the south pasture so we could later rotate the cows. The Stiles Farm Foundation has given me the best learning experience this summer and I now will be pursuing an agriculture career in my future.  McKenzie Rodriguez Week 11 Last Blog

Partnership Opportunities

Stiles Farm can run multiple projects at once thanks to the demonstration and research plot model. If you or your company would like to partner with Stiles Farm, we are looking for partnerships in long term conservation tillage and cover crop research, precision agriculture technologies, innovations in beef cattle production, the economics of small acreage horticulture production in the blacklands, and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) in agriculture production. For partnership ideas, contact Ryan Collett at (512) 898-2214 or rmcollett@ag.tamu.edu.
