Barn Hero Alma Valdez: From Power Washing to Managing Barns

The breathtaking views of Guanajuato, Mexico, weren’t easy to leave behind, but Ma Merced Yebra knew her children deserved better than what she could provide them there. Although her husband went to the U.S. often to find work, he never saved enough to help his family back in Mexico. One day she decided to take a chance on a new life in the U.S., leaving behind her roots and venturing into the unknown with her four young children. “We didn’t have a lot growing up,” says Alma Valdez, her youngest daughter. “We were very poor. We lived in a house made of cardboard and metal sheets. We struggled a lot. My mother’s decision to leave her home in Guanajuato to come to the U.S. changed my life completely.” This journey led them to DeKalb, Ill.

Unfortunately, very few teachers knew Spanish at the time, so it made it difficult for her to learn. “I guess that’s where I started learning to not give up, to always try to se

Veterinary diagnostic scientists develop rapid tool to detect swine disease

Endemic animal health threats such as Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) result in large losses of revenue to US producers every year and pose ongoing challenges to the biosecurity and bio-containment practices of the swine industry, according to a recent article from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Mitigating these impacts through rapid detection, response and recovery requires a robust and coordinated diagnostic infrastructure with active monitoring and surveillance systems. With a $1 million Agriculture and Food Research Initiative grant from NIFA, Iowa State University scientists and their collaborators at South Dakota State University, University of Minnesota, Kansas State University, Ohio Animal Disease and Diagnostic Laboratory, and Purdue University are leveraging the Swine Disease Reporting System (SDRS) to rapidly detect new strains of this PRRSV. They have launched a one-of-a-kind web-based tool called the SDRS BLAST To
