Kersbergen cited in BDN story on teen who learned to artificially inseminate dairy cows
The Bangor Daily News interviewed Rick Kersbergen, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension professor of sustainable dairy and forage systems, for a story on a high school sophomore from Belfast who took a class last fall on how to artificially inseminate a dairy cow. The student, Karagen Stone, works part time at Keene’s Dairy in Knox, which ran the class, according to the article. Kersbergen told the BDN it’s important to have more local farmers who know how to artificially inseminate dairy cows because, oftentimes, technicians live far away and can’t reach a farm when needed.
