Tragedy on a college campus

The shooting today at Virginia Tech is dominating the news on national mainstream media outlets, including Associated Press. The death toll has now topped 30. It's still too early in the investigation process to know what motive the shooter may have had in this deadly rampage.

As a Land Grant university, Virgina Tech is one of the higher education institutions in this country with an agriculture college. In recent days and weeks we've had coverage on this blog and our main site related to some of the West Coast's ag education institutions. Fortunately, we have been able to share some of the good things going on at West Coast colleges. Even coverage and commentary related to some of the budgetary woes some schools are facing, while serious, is not so dire as the tragedy the this East Coast ag school and their families are facing.

It's almost too stunning to comprehend.
