On Tuesday morning, the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners approved funding for the University of Idaho’s planned Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, or CAFE. That funding includes $6 million for a Minidoka County property and $17.2 million for construction costs for the facility, which would be the largest research dairy in the United States.
Mark McGuire, Director of the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station & Associate Dean of Research at the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, joins the podcast this week to discuss this landmark step in the decades-long CAFE project.
