Illinois Stories to feature Kreher Agriculture Center

Producers of the PBS program “Illinois Stories” were on campus yesterday preparing an upcoming episode on the new Kreher Agriculture Center. Host Mark McDonald interviewed Dr. Charlotte Warren, president; Bill Harmon, professor of agronomy; and several agriculture students. Other ag students demonstrated various simulators and assisted Craig Beckmier, professor of agriculture, with sheep in the animal science pavilion. Also assisting with the video shoot were Holly Bauman, agriculture program specialist, and Rich Teeter, professor of agriculture. The episode will air sometime in June, and we will announce the date in LincIn when it is set.
