ROTM: Advancing The Beef Industry

The beef industry is ever evolving from genetics to the latest technology and feeding practices. Beef cattle farmers are constantly trying to stay up to date on the latest industry practices to improve beef quality and to meet a growing demand for American beef. Those cutting-edge practices don’t just happen as it takes hours of research. That’s why the work that the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture does on their research farms across the state is so important. For the third year the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture held their Beef and Forage Field Day at the Middle Tennessee Ag Research and Education Center in Spring Hill, Tennessee to showcase the latest research projects in the beef industry for producers. We talked with several of the researchers there to find out about some of the latest advancements being discovered in the beef industry.
