The LSU AgCenter communications team won several awards at the Association of Communications Excellence (ACE) conference. Among them was a duck poster that AgCenter animator/producer Matt Faust created. For that, he won the Outstanding Professional Skill award. Faust put together this creative video to showcase the award at the 2024 conference. His expertise was highlighted not only in the quality of the poster, but in the many talents he used to shoot, edit, animate and produce this enthralling and humorous short film. On a sidenote, Faust also designed the conference's bigfoot logo (as seen in the video) which was emblazoned on event merchandise.

Get It Growing: Porterweed named a Louisiana Super Plant
How early should I start to prune my trees? I have two very young guys. Planted them on 6/1/24 from 1 gallon pots from the nursery. Trunks are about 1/2 thick at the base
17M of americans 😭😭😭😭
I tried to grow blueberries in pots last year, they all died. I may try to grow blueberries again.
Apple snail is delicious and eaten widely throughout Asia
Growing up we called them mirliton as my mom grew up in Vietnam but now in Central Texas I called them chayote. Love them.
Thank you for the continuing education. Appreciate y’alls knowledge and videos.
Just put salt on them
Congrats and very nice job on the Shawshank spoof.
WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THE EYE DROPS? SYLVIA Taylor SOUTH CAROLINA
Thank you. I looked up the aphids on my milkweed and many sites did say that had to be washed off with soapy water or killed by dabbing alcohol on them. I wonder if these aphids are one of the types that ladybugs eat? I looked it up on a reliable site and ladybugs do eat these types of aphids.
Do You have to let the soil cool down before you close the bag?
Beautiful 💚
Do away with the music
I do not believe that the photo they showed of the multi-colored corn came from these plants. They are not being honest. The plants look like Japonica corn, which has burgundy kernels on the cobs. The cobs looked like Glass Gem. They did not tell us what kind of corn they planted.
Only Southern Asian peeps will know how to eat Apple snails.
Love my sunpaients plant every year . They make a big statement lots of flower power clear up to the first frost .
Excellent answers to my questions...
I have one growing in the shade of a Mesquite tree outdoors in Arizona. It’s beautiful and I only cover it with a king size fitted sheet during a hard freeze.
Why do you say blue when they are clearly purple
My favorite tree at the moment. 5 magnificent 80 foot trees across my condo windows. I am so in love with them. Peachtree and Lindbergh in Atlanta.
Does it have medicinal or culinary properties?
I love rice from Louisiana. We need to get a good basmati rice here.
Please let me know how long it will take to germinate candle bush seed
I have three of these. Beautiful flowers. The plants have survived some fairly harsh temperatures too. They're also good because it seems tough to find evergreens natives to the southeast USA, so these work for that.
Ma'm . What is the economical importance of the plant.
I usually take em out, cook em up blend em and dry them and use it for fertilizer
I have tons of them in my backyard,my problem is they uneven my yard 😡
Thank you fellas. This series was great. Can't wait to see whats brewing next
Thanks for the info. It's helps.
I have one, beautiful!!! I realised she thrives in full sun and now she is the happiest.
When they're yellow or gray they're about to hatch
Hell, why not take your whole bee population and bounce them around in powdered sugar. Youd give them a little food boost and eliminate the mites.
Nice colour
I have a Peggy Martin that is climbing on an arch trellis. At the top it is sending up some shoots. We don’t know if we can cut them closer to the trellis or wait until it is not so hot. Do you get flowers for a long time or just in the spring.
Wow very educating video

Something is wrong with the captions
I’ve seen this bug on my roses, basil, sweet potato vine and mint?
You didnt say what they taste like, or really what they look like. Im a gardener, and i have pulled dozens of thithtles that are just hollow stems, some 3 feet high hollow stems-not worth looking at or eating
We have a pair this summer in north Texas. (Medicine Mound)
I love the natives. Where can I get these Stokes astors?
Very pretty colour!
I know someone who almost got arrested for growing a Texas star. Cops thought it was a weed plant. 😂😂😂

What time of year do you plant them?
Nice icepick. Just in case. I get it.
