Friday, September 13, 2024
This week on SUNUP:

- Mark Johnson, OSU Extension beef cattle breeding specialist, discusses the seven percent rule.
- Finally, SUNUP’s Kurtis Hair has another report from the Scotland study abroad trip, where he learns we’re not the only country that likes to showcase its agriculture.
