The latest print issue of Texas Tech's Department of Agricultural Education & Communications' magazine, The Agriculturist, has been delivered and is available at several locations across the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
The 90-page, student-led magazine's cover story Navigating Red Rivers by Evan Johnson focuses on development and growth of Lubbock's the Bayer Museum of Agriculture. Red Rivers, who guides visitors through the museum, believes it's important tell agriculture's story. He connects with people every day at the museum, builds relationships, and instills the significance of agriculture.
This year's editorial leadership team was directed by Jacy Cabler, Editor; Lindsey Henry, Associate Editor; Paisley Cooper, Associate Editor; Lindsay Hamer, Digital Content Editor; and Ivie Kate Mynatt, Advertising Manager. Each semester, students enroll in 'ACOM 4310: Development of Agricultural Publications,' to produce the magazine from start to finish.
