Dr. Corriher-Olson’s major goals have been to assist county Extension agents in identifying, planning, conducting, and evaluating education programs in all aspects of forages. Her mission is to affect a true change in the efficiency of forage production and utilization in Texas. Dr. Corriher-Olson’s approach is to share her knowledge and findings from applied research, in concert with the work of colleagues in this and other disciplines.
Ag in the Evening Webinar Series was developed because of COVI D-19 stay at home orders. In coordination with Dr. Jason Banta, Shaniqua Davis (CEA Gregg County), and Jo A. Smith (Houston County). Webinars were initiated in April of 2020 and are currently hosted monthly. Each webinar covers 1 topic for 30-45 minutes alternating between beef and forage topics. Each program is recorded and has been posted on a public YouTube Channel. The YouTube Channel has 333 subscribers, 57 videos and 9,466 views. (East Texas Beef & Forage Extension)
