"We in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences have a tradition and culture that place a premium on partnerships, because we know such partnerships enhance our research, teaching and outreach programs. These collaborations have yielded incalculable benefits for farmers, natural resource managers, the food industry, and indeed, everyone who eats and who cares about the fate of the environment in Wisconsin and throughout the world. The university gains more perspectives and real-life trials to include in its research and teaching efforts through these collaborations."

Elton Aberle, Dean, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences
