Welcome to the first episode of the "Research Call" series. In this episode, we called Brooke Latack, the UC ANR Livestock Adviser for Imperial, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. Brooke shared with us information about her master's degree thesis entitled "Development of a whole farm grow-finish swine operation decision support tool through modelled nutrient loss" and also about an article that she wrote here in California entitled "Hasty responses to foodborne illness outbreaks impact California growers" (http://calag.ucanr.edu/archive/?type=pdf&article=ca.2020a0007). I hope you enjoy this great call with Brooke!!
