LSU Agriculture: Winning for Louisiana

I am eager to elevate Louisiana agriculture through LSU’s Scholarship First Agenda. LSU President William F. Tate IV recognized agriculture as one of the five priorities areas that will drive excellence for LSU, Louisiana and beyond. Our cover story focuses on agriculture in Louisiana and also reaches into the other four LSU priority areas: biomedical, coast, defense/cybersecurity and energy.
