EDITOR'S LETTER

None of us could have imagined what this last year held; 2020 brought a whole new meaning to the word unprecedented. But people adapted, “new normal” became a daily phrase, and our resilience was magnified across the globe.

Here at the Brock Center, we adapted, too. This edition of AgCircle may look a bit different from previous years. Our team saw this year as an opportunity to incorporate new elements and possibilities into the magazine to make this issue the best it could be. We hope you find our storytelling impactful and informative. We have taken the circumstances we are in and adapted them to bring you a beautiful multimedia version of the magazine while holding true to the roots of AgCircle.

I would like to thank the amazing Brock Center Associates team for all their hard work and our director, Dr. Karen Cannon, for her guidance and support in putting this edition together. Thank you too to all of our contributors and sources for sticking with us through these strange times and helping us share amazing stories. Last but not least, we would like to thank all of you for your continued support of our publication and hope you enjoy our Winter 2021 edition. Happy reading!
