We have an extensive video archive of our noon seminars going back to Winter quarter 2008. The first noon seminar recorded was a talk given by Dan Drake on Monday January 07, 2008 from 12:10 pm to 1:00 pm, in Weir Room (2154 Meyer Hall). He talked about "Extension Farm Advisors: Lone Rangers or Part of a Team?" Dan Drake was a Farm Advisor and CE Associate at Department of Animal Science, University of California Davis, USA. Dan is now retired and travels extensively.
