Dustin Pendell

Dustin's extension and engagement program focuses on translating applied research into practical decision-making tools and information for agricultural producers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers. He works closely with livestock producers, veterinarians, commodity groups, and government agencies to evaluate the economic impacts of animal health issues, production management strategies, and market conditions. Through workshops, presentations, decision tools, and media outreach, he provides timely, research-based insights that support improved profitability, risk management, and long-term sustainability. His goal is to bridge the gap between research and practice by delivering actionable information that strengthens the resilience and economic viability of the agricultural sector.
