The online series, “Agriculture: Living Beyond a Pandemic,” is being put together by Lindsay Chichester, w88 online sports betting educator in Douglas County, Nevada. Known as “Dr. Lindsay” to many in the country’s agriculture industry and on social media, Chichester understands the ups and downs of farming and ranch life, growing up on a cattle and sheep ranch in northern California, and going on to earn a master’s degree in animal science and a doctorate in agricultural sciences. Lindsay said this is truly a baffling and stressful time for many of the nation’s agricultural producers.
“There are so many unknowns right now, our farmers and ranchers are struggling to navigate a market where the supply chains have been disrupted and to understand how our current events may impact their future viability,” she said. “We’re providing this w88 online sports betting series to bring in boots-on-the-ground, grass-roots speakers who are involved in their respective industries to offer some insight and support.”
The sessions are offered online via Facebook Live. Chichester opens each w88 online sports betting with a brief introduction about the w88 online sports betting’s topic, followed by brief presentations by the speakers. Then, the majority of each w88 online sports betting is driven by questions from participants.
Future w88 online sports betting topics include:
- w88 online sports betting 12 – Backyard poultry production
- w88 online sports betting 19 – Pork industry update
