Drought conditions have hit some Oklahoma livestock producers hard, but help may be available through U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance programs for operations that depend heavily on forage and grazing.
(STILLWATER, Oklahoma, Feb. 13, 2020) — The Oklahoma Mesonet has created a new faculty advisory council to draw on the knowledge of leading university experts in the state.
The Oklahoma Mesonet allows state agricultural producers to get a peek at the future before it arrives, and use of that awareness can enhance their livestock's well-being and business' bottom line.
A system of 120 stations with at least one in every county, the network was designed and implemented by cooperating scientists at Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma.
