Back to the future

CEO Commentary by Mike McMorris

We are heading deeper into a new world of farming, one with a huge impact from engineering and technologies. While not new, this is a bit of a throwback with a renewed interest in agriculture from the engineering world. 

LRIC is actively working to bring that expertise to the challenges and opportunities facing livestock producers. See more below about our June 20 symposium “Engineering a Better Farm”. Several of the articles in this newsletter highlight creative and automated ways to help livestock farmers. It is critical that those developing solutions are well connected to and understand livestock producers and production. 

Necessity is truly the mother of invention and so if you are a livestock producer with an idea that should be presented to the engineering community, reach out to us and we will make the connection.
