Big picture: MSU scientists design satellite data technology to help farmers boost yields

Mississippi State researchers are developing new ways to mitigate heat stress in dairy cows–an issue that costs the industry approximately $1.5 billion in lost production–thanks to a $300,000 New Investigator Seed Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Pictured from left to right at the Beardon Dairy Research Center are Derris Devost–Burnett, associate professor; Lindsey Reon, senior animal and dairy sciences major; Himani Joshi, ADS doctoral student; Brandon Bernard, senior biochemistry major; Jalyn Hawkins, ADS doctoral student; Rhonda Vann, research professor; Peixin Fan, assistant professor; Caleb Lemley, professor; and Abigail McBride, senior biochemistry major.
