Recently I had the opportunity to speak with KC Sheperd of the Oklahoma Farm Report.

We talked about how the new $40+ million investment will expand ’s agronomy infrastructure and help Oklahoma’s economy. The funding comes from a collaborative effort between state leaders and private donors.

The new facility will amplify OSU’s service to Oklahoma — from expanded agriculture research to the future of veterinary medicine.

With summer break around the corner, many parents are asking the same question: Is my child ready to stay home alone?

OSU Extension educators say there’s no “magic age.” Maturity, responsibility and confidence matter more than a number.
Before making the decision:
• Practice short test runs
• Review emergency plans
• Discuss house rules
• Talk about kitchen and internet safety
• Make sure your child feels comfortable
