UW Professor Khaled Ksaibati is quoted in a Cowboy State Daily article about a crash caused when a semitrailer veered off Interstate 80, demolishing

median cable on the interstate prevented the crash from being much worse.
In a Buffalo Bulletin article about ranchers destocking their herds due to drought conditions, UW Extension

grass growth, and lack of snowpack meant many irrigators didn’t have enough water
to produce an abundant hay crop.
