Loved every moment at Ag Day on the Hill! Thank you @TNFarmBureau!
ACRE had a great time at Ag Day on the Hill, sharing our latest research and programs at the University of Memphis. With agriculture and forestry as Tennessee's top industry, we're proud to contribute to this vital part of our state's economy. Thank you to Farm Bureau for hosting

Researchers from ACRE will conduct experiments to explore how consumers choose products marketed as supporting biodiversity-friendly farming, and how much more they’re willing to pay for them. Lead by ACRE members Susana Jaramillo, Chris Ramezanpour, Jen Mandel and Shawn Brown.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we do have a system moving in tomorrow night that will bring a risk of both severe weather and flash flooding. Timing is late tomorrow (after 8pm) lasting into the early Friday morning hours. Stay safe and #WeatherAware, Mid-South! ⛈️

Hopefully you enjoyed this wonderful day, because tomorrow will be very different! Temps were rather pleasant and exceptionally average for this time of year. Tomorrow, we see a significant temp drop and a much wetter day thanks to Hurricane Helene's remnants. /LG
