In case you haven’t heard, Sonora is having a party! Well, technically, Field Day first and party afterwards. \u00a0Dr. Butch Taylor has decided to retire and go out with a bang at the Sonora Celebration.<\/p>\n

This Saturday we celebrate one individual and one Experiment Station that have been inseparable for 44 years. \u00a0One man. \u00a0One Career. \u00a0One location. \u00a0Pretty amazing and definitely not something you see everyday. \u00a0The Sonora Experiment Station is a magical place to start with. \u00a0This is probably the only place in the United States where producers advocated and helped purchase land and facilities to be solely utilized for applied research that producers NEED. \u00a0Match that research station with a very dedicated and determined individual and you have the perfect combination of research and outreach. \u00a0Here\u00a0<\/a>you will find an invitation to the Celebration and all the information you need to know to attend, including directions and a list of hotels.<\/p>\n

If you have only heard of Dr. Butch Taylor, please come to the Sonora Celebration and shake the man’s hand. \u00a0Butch has done more for Texas rangelands and for Fire Ecology than any other scientist or Aggie for that matter. \u00a0But, you would never know that just by talking to him. \u00a0He is humble, gracious, kind, and truly in the business of education. I promise to keep a straight face, tear free, on Saturday, and can’t wait to applaud one hell of an amazing man. To learn more about Dr. Taylor’s\u00a0story and tenure at Texas A&M University\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please come celebrate Sonora with me this Saturday, April 23rd. \u00a0More importantly, come meet the man behind the station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
