NAMED PROGRAM: MU Extension Feedlot School

Description: Two day paid program ($400 per registration) covering all aspects of finishing cattle for harvest.  There have been 219 attendees across eight schools since the program’s inception in August 2021. Solicited $97,336 in grant funding from the Missouri Department of Agriculture to subsidize Feedlot Schools in 2024.

Roles and Responsibilities: Generated idea for the school, oversaw development of curriculum, created and distributed marketing materials, used personal contacts to engage industry professionals as educators in each school, curated flash drive of relevant extension publications given to each attendee.

Impact:  219 attendees representing over 25% (self-reported) of the one-time cattle feedlot capacity (80,000 head) in Missouri, as determined by NASS Cattle on Feed Inventory for Missouri.  80% of attendees expressed interest in increasing cattle feeding capacity on evaluations.  Each additional head fed in Missouri adds ≥ $600 to the Missouri Economy (Missouri Value Added Beef Study, 2014).  Feedlot Schools have had over $12,000,000 economic impact in Missouri since 2021.

COVID RESPONSE: Forage Livestock Town Halls: I worked with four colleagues to create a series of Zoom meetings, catered to take place of extension meetings cancelled due to the pandemic.  We created 34 videos in 2020 and 79 between 2020-2022.

Roles and Responsibilities: Member of leadership team.  Created all marketing and promotional materials (flyers, digital video advertisements, magazine advertisements, press releases), hosted Zoom meetings, created simulcast to YouTube, which allowed for asynchronous viewing.

Impact: 104,230 views of 79 videos on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@MUIPM). Provided educational content at 19 Town Hall meetings and hosted 10 other Town Hall meetings.

Drought programming: Developed curriculum, wrote press releases and popular press articles about drought, and spoke at 21 drought meetings in 2018, with over 1,480 people in attendance combined.

Extension Impact: The University of Missouri uses a combination of Resource Return Ratio and Reach index (powered by data from Cision and NewzGroup) to quantify the impact of Extension Specialists.

Resource Return Ratio compares financial resources an individual brings to the University compared to how much the University invests in salary. The formula equals [Extension Salary Paid / (Shared Credit Expenditure + Fee Revenue + Salary Offset)]. Over the past three years, my resource return ratio is 2.92, meaning I have generated 2.92x more financial resources for the University of Missouri than salary paid.  This value is 3.11x greater than peer group median (0.94; MU Extension State Specialists).

The Reach index measures the data associated with an individual’s direct and indirect contacts for Extension. This index places a value of 1.0 value for each measure up to the baseline and at a partial coefficient over the baseline. Those values are then summed for the index. My Extension Reach Index averaged 9.2 over the past 3 years. That value is 2.25x greater than my peer group median (4.08; MU Extension State Specialists). I have generated 643 media mentions, been cited in media outlets with a readership of over 87 million and had 20,366 Extension Publication views and downloads in the past three years.
