Item Pollinators for Food: Planting pollinator attractive annuals with peppers to improve harvest(2019-07-20) Weisenhorn, Julie E.; Klodd, Annie; Fritz, Vince; Oelhert, Gary; Meyer, MaryIt is well-known that many food crops require insect pollination to produce fruit, but what about self-pollinated crops? Would planting bee-attractive flowers near the crops make a difference in the quality and quantity of pepper production? Based on results from Flowers for Pollinators (F4P), a 4-year study that demonstrated annual flowers attract bees and other insect pollinators, Pollinators for Food (P4F) explores whether planting pollinator-attractive annual flowers might improve production and quality of self-fertile crops when planted nearby.Item Using a modified delphi in rapidly changing times- Ash management guide(University of Minnesota Extension, 2011) Gupta, Angela; Mayer, Amy; Miedtke, JulieThe world is changing quickly; however, delivering scientific information takes time. A modified-Delphi approach offers those of us working in Extension a way to address methodological constraints to our ability to provide research-based, credible information under rapidly changing conditions. In 2011, the authors used a modified-Delphi technique facilitated by Survey Monkey to create a systematic, interactive, structured survey process to engage a panel of experts from many different areas of expertise. A careful administration of the survey over three distinct rounds generated sound management recommendations from which the publication Ash Management Guidelines for Private Forest Landowners was produced. The process used could be applied in varied disciplines when there is a desire to find meaningful answers to difficult questions in an efficient, timely manner. The modified-Delphi process enabled natural resource professionals and other stakeholders to share management recommendations in a quickly changing world of invasive species, climate change, and an increasingly unknown future. Respondents provided survey-based feedback in three rounds. Their responses, stripped of identifiers, were used to generate each subsequent survey round.Item Woodland advisor program: public value and program effectiveness(University of Minnesota Extension, 2010) Gupta, AngelaItem Making connections and producing results in the woodland advisor program(University of Minnesota Extension, 2009) Gupta, Angela; Reichenbach, MichaelThe Woodland Advisor program moved from a cohort to an open model in 2003. This created partnerships, expanded delivery, and increased external revenues. Classes now have flexible content and schedules, participant feedback focuses new electives, and marketing and volunteer support increased. As the program matured many networks and links have formed, as illustrated in this concept map.Item Meeting Learner Needs through Online Nutrition Education: Project Evolution through Formative Evaluation(2017) Perdue, Laura; King, Megan; Holland, AlisonItem Bridging Research to Practice: An Innovative Approach to Sharing Extension's Work(University of Minnesota Extension, 2018-10) Mastel, Kristen; Katras, Mary JoThere is increasing competition for research-informed and trusted information online. Since Wikipedia is so prominent, it is an innovative opportunity for Extension to increase the rigor of Wikipedia articles by adding our research and education citations to make our work more discoverable and accessible.Item Manure Nitrogen Management with a Winter Rye Cover Crop: On-farm trials in Minnesota(2018) Wilson, Melissa; Coulter, Jeff; Everett, Les; Pepin, RandyItem Use of a Multi-State Survey to Identify Gaps in Understanding of Agricultural Research(2018) Stahl, Lizabeth; Bauder, Sara; Coltrain, Joshua; Thomas, JohnItem Public value for who?

As programs are developed to support child care providers in creating healthy food environments, it is important to gather input from child care providers. Insights from providers themselves help ensure programs are feasible and well-received.
