ROUNDUP AG WEEK EDITION, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 2009 15 HOT, COLD HOPPERS MSU Announces Online Master’s Degree In Agricultural Education From MSU News The Montana State University division of agricultural education is offering a new online master’s program in agricultural education. The graduate degree program is designed to meet the needs of professional agricultural educators by allowing them to continue their education while still working. “The program was specifically designed with ag teachers and extension agents in mind,” said Shannon Arnold, assistant professor of agricultural education. Online graduate level courses allow the completion of a Master of Science degree in agricultural education in approximately two years. The degree is designed to improve graduates’ professional and technical skills in the areas of agricultural education, communication, leadership and extension. Students will be required to attend an orientation session and present their professional paper at the Bozeman campus. All other coursework will be done online. “The new online learning management system that we are using for the courses has more tools for students and allows us to teach a more connected, effective online course,” said Arnold. Applicants do not need to have an undergraduate degree in agricultural education to apply. A bachelor’s degree in agriculture, education or any related field is acceptable, Arnold said. Applications are currently being accepted for fall 2009 admission. The deadline is July 15. Financial waivers may be available for current MSU employees including extension agents.

Grasshopper Eggs At -35º By Russ Wells First came the fire and now freezing cold... This is the work of Research Entomologist Dave Branson as he looks for an ecologically friendly method of controlling grasshoppers. Branson, with ARS-USDA Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory in Sidney is continuing fire research to kill grasshopper eggs. He said the heat has to be intense with a lot of standing biomass because a lot of common grasshopper lay eggs deep enough so they are not affected. Branson said he is now studying what the grasshoppers are doing during the fall, winter and spring. Cold testing is being done in the lab with eggs in chambers at minus 35 degrees to simulate winter temperatures. “It’s difficult to explain the changes in grasshopper population. This should give us a better idea of the role temperature and soil moisture have on the survival of eggs during the winter,” Branson said. Next year, plans are to conduct weather related tests on grasshoppers outside in Montana, Alaska and Arizona to study the affects of soil moisture.
