This all-day conference, designed for producers, ag professionals, and researchers, addresses the latest practices in crop production and farm management.

Topics include farm economics and cost management, precision agriculture, and crop insurance. Industry professionals will also present about specific crops, like beets and barley.

The symposium will take place at Northwest College’s Yellowstone Room, located at 231 West 6th St. Presentations begin at 9 a.m. and the event concludes at 5 p.m.

“The Northwest Wyoming Crop Symposium offers valuable, research-based information that producers can immediately apply to improve their operations,” says Makayla Getz, Park County extension educator. “Attendees gain access to the latest updates in crop science, pest and weed management, soil health, and innovative production technologies tailored to Wyoming’s unique growing conditions.”

In addition to sharing practical knowledge, the event provides an opportunity for community members to connect with industry leaders.

UW Researchers Use Graph Theory to Study Autism in Mice

Just as a city cannot be understood by studying individual buildings without considering the roads connecting them, the brain cannot be fully comprehended by examining individual neurons without studying how they work together as a network.

This is how Rongsong Liu, a professor in the University of Wyoming Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Zoology and Physiology, views the work she and other researchers conducted using graph theory to better understand autism spectral disorder (ASD) in mice.
