With the severe weather surprising many communities in Wisconsin, it's important that farmers and land owners know the NRCS is there.

Terry Cosby is the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and was in Madison for the Sand County Foundations National Conservation Symposium.  Cosby has been with NRCS for over 4 decades, but continues to try and help people better understand all the functions and programs that they offer.

Cosby also noted that from wildfires to flooding, NRCS plays a critical role in immediately responding to needs, as well as supporting rebuilding and reinforcement of infrastructure after weather events.

UW-Madison is celebrating 175 years, and to help celebrate has been on a tour all across Wisconsin. This stop in particular was at the Badger Veterinary Hospital in Janesville. 

Tod Pritchard works at the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, and helped organized this tour. His hope with this tour was to help people see the direct correlation between the students education at UW-Madison to their possible careers. With Badger Veterinary Hospital being no expectation as we see a shortage in Veterinarians today. With this partnership and tour he was thrilled to see lots of needed conversation tacking place.
