  Tim's Take Episode 51 | Super El Niño of 2026

  Jul 3, 202647 min

  In this episode of Tim’s Take, host Tim Reinbott sits down with Missouri State Climatologist and Extension Specialist Dr. Zach Leasor for an in-depth conversation about climate patterns, weather forecasting, and what Missouri producers can expect in the months ahead. Recorded in mid-June, this discussion explores how warming Pacific Ocean temperatures influence the jet stream, rainfall patterns, and growing conditions across the Central United States. Dr. Leasor explains the science behind El Niño and La Niña, including what defines a “Super El Niño” and why even small changes in ocean temperatures can have major effects on weather and agriculture. The conversation also examines how weather forecasts are developed, why predicting future conditions is so challenging, and the key differences between weather forecasting and climate prediction. Listeners will gain insight into the tools scientists use to monitor conditions and help farmers, researchers, and decision-makers prepare for the future.

  Tim’s Take 50 | Hidden World of Solitary Bees & the Pollinators That Power Our Crops

  Jun 5, 202649 min

  In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of bees beyond the familiar honeybee. Most bees are solitary, meaning each female builds and provisions her own nest rather than living in a hive. These bees often nest underground or in natural cavities and show remarkable diversity in behavior, habitat preferences, and plant relationships. #TimsTake #pollinators #MUAg #bees #pollinatorsareimportant #AgShorts #MissouriFarms Learn more about MU research at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station website: https://moaes.missouri.edu/ #mizzou #moaes #soybean #farming #corn The Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station (MOAES) extends CAFNR research to nearly 14,000 acres across the state to meet regional research and demonstration needs of agricultural producers and natural resource managers.
