    The Landscape Club recently held a pre-order sale for their very popular garden trellises. The sale was a huge success and all trellises sold out in less than a day!  If you have any questions about the garden trellises, please contact Shane Berner.23 in the Horticulture Division. 

  3. ATI Jersey herd recognized for top production

    Submitted by Royce Thornton, thornton.5@osu.edu

    I just received the below email from the American Jersey Cattle Association.  The email shares the national production rankings for the Jersey herd.

    The Jersey cow continues to be more profitable than ever! Your herd will be featured in the March issue of the Jersey Journal. And, as production continues to climb and demand for the Jersey grows, it will remain an exciting time to own the most efficient, profitable breed of dairy cattle – Jerseys.

    We have just started work on the March issue of the Jersey Journal which is our annual Production issue. We are pleased to inform you that your herd ranks nationally.

    OSU ATI herd

    2020 AJCA Lactation ME Average is: 
    22,511M, 1,128F, 833P on 37 cows

    Within your herd size of 10-39 you rank: 5th for Protein and Milk and 7th for Fat 

     

     

     

  4. Internship Reports

    Submitted by Denise Rotavera-Krain, rotavera-krain.1@osu.edu

    Here are a few updated documents to pass along to students. The AU19-SU20 Internship Report is attached, along with the newly updated report for the 2018/2019 Academic Year. Both of these documents were compiled using data that was reported to the Career Development Office through the CFAES Internship Reporting Form and the FAES 3191 Internship course that was implemented in Summer 2020 and continues moving forward. The information provided is helpful for students who are wondering what employers have internship positions for specific majors, wage information, etc. Please let me know if you have any questions about these documents or the information included.
