December is a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and celebrate all that we have accomplished together. The second half of 2025 has been an especially meaningful and productive season for DARE, and I am deeply grateful for the dedication and hard work of our students, staff, and faculty. What an extraordinary community of talented and committed professionals. During this semester, we were fortunate to collaborate with a wide range of incredible partners who helped advance our research, teaching, and outreach mission areas in impactful ways. Their engagement and support made it possible to achieve outcomes that truly matter. Please keep reading to learn more about the amazing things happening in DARE. We hope to catch you at the National Western Stock Show<\/a> in January where DARE faculty, staff and students will play an integral role in telling the story of agriculture, creating hands on experiences, and promoting all our industry has to offer! Happy holidays and all the best for 2026!<\/p>\n

DARE Research in Katmai National Park, Alaska:<\/strong>\u00a0In July, DARE faculty member, Lynne Lewis and Graduate student, Jayna travelled to Katmai National Park in Alaska, home of the largest protected brown bear population in the U.S. Here, they conducted a visitor experience survey, getting responses from over 850 visitors from around the world. They are using the data from the survey to create a report for the National Parks Service regarding perceptions of crowding and safety in the area. In their free time, they kayaked on the lake, watched bears fish in the river, talked with park rangers and visitors, and took thousands of pictures.<\/p>\n

CAM’s Ag Academy on the Road:<\/strong>\u00a0Our AGED team traveled to 5 county fairs- Weld, Fremont, Routt, Archuleta, and Moffat counties and both weekends of the Colorado State Fair. During these travels, the CAM’s team interacted with more than 4,400 people at CAM’s Classroom, where studentcreated and student-led activities educate visitors on different agricultural subjects. There were over 320 people who earned their Junior Ag Ambassador badge by completing an in-depth activity about the agriculture in their county. In addition to a physical presence at the fairs, CAM’s, in partnership with COAITC and OEE, sent agricultural outreach kits to 4 intermountainregion counties.<\/p>\n

RAISE Scholars Assess Winter Pea Quality:<\/strong>\u00a0This fall, DARE\u2019s RAISE Scholars are getting hands-on experience: figuring out whether winter peas could be a profitable, water-friendly crop for farms in the Colorado River Basin. In the photo, you\u2019ll spot undergraduates Jason Delfico and Nicolette Marty sorting fallplanted peas grown at CSU\u2019s Western Colorado Research Center near Fruita by size, shape, and color to see where they might fit in the marketplace under USDA Agricultural Marketing Service standards. Fellow scholars Isabella Cogdill and Brooklynn Henschel are also contributing to the project, though not pictured. Why the attention on quality? Because in water-limited agriculture it\u2019s not only how much you grow, but also how good it is, that opens doors to better marketing channels. The RAISE Scholars are guided by Daniel Mooney, Associate Professor in DARE, and, for this project, a fantastic CSU pulse team: Jess Davis (Pulse Agronomist), Marissa Spear and Bill Szasz (Research Associates), Perry Cabot (Water Engineer), and Todd Ballard (Extension Specialist).

Dynamics of Ag and Food Markets and Policy:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2025, we successfully piloted “Dynamics of Ag and Food Markets and Policy,” a unique course co-taught by former USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, DARE Professor Dawn Thilmany, and DARE graduate student Rebecca Wasserman-Olin. This interactive course helped students understand the development of policies that support agriculture, rural communities, and the environment. Throughout the semester, students built professional leadership skills by engaging directly with realworld policymakers. The course concluded with a final session where students presented convincing arguments or proposals on their policy of choice.<\/p>\n

Report: Colorado River Insights 2025: \u201cDancing with Deadpool\u201d<\/a>: Daniel Mooney, associate professor of agricultural and resource economics, contributed to chapter seven of the 2025 inaugural Colorado River Insights report, “Dancing with Deadpool.” The chapter, “Facing the future: Can agriculture thrive in the Upper Basin with less water?” examines how water scarcity in the upper Colorado River Basin affects agriculture. Mooney’s research covers agricultural production systems, conservation of water and soil resources, food and farm value chains, and business management.<\/p>\n

14 ways to outsmart rising grocery prices<\/a>: According to the federal Consumer Price Index, food prices increased 2.7 percent from September 2024 to September 2025. According to Dawn Thilmany, higher labor costs for U.S. farmers, supply-chain disruptions and tariffs on imported foods are what\u2019s led to higher prices. Check out the full article for 14 clever ways to save money at the grocery store.<\/p>\n

Colorado ranchers say White House beef policy is making a tough job even tougher<\/a>: Colorado ranchers face growing pressure as higher land prices, industry consolidation, and more imported beef make it harder for small producers to compete. Recent federal decisions have worsened the situation. This year, the Trump administration increased Argentinian beef imports right when ranchers were taking their calf crop to market, causing prices to fall sharply. In November, beef tariffs were reversed, but this change came too late in the season to provide relief. A deeper problem lies behind these market changes. The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest point in 75 years. Ongoing drought has forced many ranchers to sell off their herds, leading to what agricultural and resource economics assistant professor Nathan DeLay calls a \u201cvery constrained supply situation,\u201d which is pushing prices even higher.<\/p>\n

A major grocery chains slashes prices on everyday essentials | Living Paycheck to Paycheck<\/a>: In an interview with CBS News, Dawn Thilmany explained why Kroger recently cut prices. Kroger and Albertsons, two of the country\u2019s biggest grocery chains, have lowered prices to bring shoppers back from competing retailers and online options. Thilmany says shoppers shouldn\u2019t expect prices to drop a lot, but price increases will probably slow down. As she puts it, \u201cwe\u2019re at the new price points that are going to be normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gas price drop could increase holiday spending, experts say<\/a>: Gas prices in Colorado have fallen to $2.52 per gallon, the third lowest in the nation, as the U.S. average drops below $3 for the first time in four years. Agricultural economics professor Anders Van Sandt notes that while most consumers and delivery services may see little change, rideshare drivers could benefit from higher immediate margins.<\/p>\n

How does the holiday halo effect impact small businesses?<\/a>: Dawn Thilmany, professor of agricultural and resource economics, shared her insights in a Forbes article about the \u201choliday halo\u201d effect that small businesses experience. This effect refers to the seasonal boost in visibility and appreciation they get from local communities. The article also features research by Kit Hughes, associate professor of film and media studies at CSU, who points out that holiday romantic comedies often portray small businesses as the center of community life, places where people come together to celebrate. Thilmany explains that small businesses like gift shops, restaurants, banks, salons, and other service providers help local economies by hiring local workers, buying from local suppliers, and supporting community projects. \u201cSmall businesses are also stealth contributors to the local economy,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n
