Happy National Pollinator Week! Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, or other animals, or by the wind. Make sure to check out all the events for "Bee Auburn" this week! http://agriculture.auburn.edu/events/bee-auburn/.

Here's a photo from May 11, 1934: Headline reads; Dust storm sweeps from Great Plains across Eastern states. "Another massive storm on April 15, 1935–known as “Black Sunday”–brought even more attention to the desperate situation in the Great Plains region, which reporter Robert Geiger called the “Dust Bowl.” That year, as part of its New Deal program, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration began to enforce federal regulation of farming methods, including crop rotation, grass-seeding and new plowing methods. This worked to a point, reducing dust storms by up to 65 percent, but only the end of the drought in the fall of 1939 would truly bring relief." http://www.history.com
