July 22, 20232 yr Funny they call themselves "the Rudder Association." Considering what a collection of directionless cowards who blindly follow bigoted stupidity off the cliff every year in a Sisyphean effort to become nationally relevant in anything, "And this year's the year fellas....whoop!" Like a huge chunk of America, they looked around and thought, "Wait, what? It's finally cool to let our vitriolic hatred for anything different shine outward for all to see?" And while that has taken a rebooted foothold in this country (sadly) to an extent...being Aggies...they fucked it up. They're the dipshits who show up to the hate rally to share the like-minded beliefs and value sets as the keynote speaker, and after all the applause and chanting, shout out, "And we're gonna show them by burning down our own sacred institutions from the inside to prove how dangerous those people are to our own sacred institutions, right!?!?!? Who's with me?!?!?!?"

July 24, 20232 yr 29 minutes ago, Vertigo said: Can aggy pull the sovereign immunity card in a lawsuit? Other law dogs can weigh in, but the immunity defense asserted by Tech in the Mike Leach case was based on a contract to which sovereign immunity generally applies. McElroy never had a contract with aggy, and I'm guessing that she would assert a 1983 claim. I don't know if she'd ultimately prevail on the merits of that claim (Fifth Circuit narrator: "She won't"), but I don't think aggy will have an easy out with immunity.

They are using state dollars to "teach" this useless crap. That's money that's not available to other universities that actually, you know, educate their students. The damage that aggy does to higher education in this state is unreal. Also apparently when you are an idiot redneck you have to wear a hard hat to look at pieces of meat. Odd grocery stores don't have the same rules. I guess that says something about the ability of your average stocker at HEB vs. your average aggy "student"

July 24, 20232 yr I know processed meats and BigAg are massive industries. But most of what they're teaching in these programs at A&M could just as easily, and more effectively, be taught in myriad ag/livestock/processing plant hubs around the state with a certificate program-styled model. No need for 120 hours over 5 years at a massive university with cumbersome G&A overhead and administrative bloat. I mean, yeah between a chicken plant supervisor with a college degree and one that learned on the job as an apprentice, society is better off with the one with both a technical skill and a well-rounded education. Problem with A&M is they somehow manage to produce graduates who have the technical skills, but somehow regress in terms of critical thinking and original thought over their 4-6 years in College Station. It's really quite remarkable. They become wholistic dummies by having attended. I don't get it.

In all honesty you don't even need a certificate type system. 99.9% of what's taught in the food science/ag science schools is just "don't be dumb". Meat Science - for example - should be like 1 hour of training: standard restaurant food safety training, how to make the cuts, and how to detect anything that's rotten. There it is. I literally just condensed a 4 year degree in to a FREAKING LINE OF TEXT. Granted the average redneck farmer in the US is probably going to have an IQ of like 10 so it might take reading that line a few times, but the point still stands.

No, but you wouldn't be eating USDA Prime at a relatively inexpensive price. You can bet they have backgrounds in genetics, food safety, feedlot efficiency, cost streamlining, and a myriad of other like classes totaling a mere 36 hours of their major. They have another 90 or so hours in classes like history, foreign language, Wester Civilization, biology, and zoology, to make them an educated, and well-rounded (but delusional) individual. And agriculture majors don't just go for four years to learn to put a seed in the ground to grow a plant. They are genetically engineering different strains of grains, fruits, and vegetables, to be drought and disease resistant, so you don't have to eat that $10 banana that always gets posted on here. Our ability to feed our nation is our greatest National Security asset. Food is cheaper in the US, when compared to the average consumer expenditure, then anywhere else in the World. I'm no aggy fan, but the US is a leading food producer, and a net exporter thanks to the years of research and work put in by our nation'a land grant universities and colleges. CHIEF

My Grandfather was a Greek immigrant who joined the US Army at the Age of 17 during the WWI era and later worked the shipyards in Aransas Pass as a young man. Met my Grandmother to be and moved south to what is now north McAllen and became a successful farmer. Didn’t have one hour of Ag education from a college much less a college degree. He did raise one daughter (My Mom) who went to UT and a son who went to A&M, so he was .500 there. Lol.
July 25, 20232 yr I used to work with a guy whose dad grew sorghum and cotton in Robstown. He went to UT, and he sent his oldest son to UT. When my former co-worker was a senior in high school, his dad told him that, while The University was the greatest school in Texas, he (former co-worker) should go to aggy. He did, and got a degree in Parks and Rec. He never worked in Parks and Rec, but he knew the shit out of how to grow grass.

I own a very small percentage of a large farm. Huge sums of money are at stake. Very advanced and expensive technology is used. Farming is not a. b. c. by any stretch of the imagination. A lot goes into maximizing yield and profits. I do not say that to defend aggy in any way, but what many farmers do is not basic by any measure.
