Description

In this episode we welcome Tracy Sellers, senior content writer and media strategist for the UC Davis CLEAR Center, to Sorting Pen for the first time as she gives California ranching families and producers an inside look at the work being done to bridge science, media, and agriculture. Get to know her journey in agriculture, and now working at the CLEAR Center with Dr. Frank Mitloehner. Tracy also shares what a typical day looks like at the Center, highlights some of the priority projects she and her team are focused on, and reflects on some favorite pieces she’s published.

We also dive into the important role farmers and ranchers play in the stories the CLEAR Center tells, explore the goals behind events like Salute to Ag Day, and hear Tracy’s perspective on college students in 2025. Stay to the end of the episode to learn a few slang terms college students are using today.
