Film Captures First Place at International Festival

The video program "Bred for Furrow: Draft Animals," produced by Ken Casey and Chris Sarason of UC Davis' Creative Communication Services, has captured a first-place award at the Charleston International Film Festival. Casey and Sarason produced the three-part film series for use in international agricultural development courses. Former agricultural engineering graduate student Eve Iverson, a student of Professor William Chancellor, was the writer and associate producer for the project. Ray Lucas of Creative Communication Services and graphic artist Karen English-Loeb also contributed to the production. The program illustrates how using draft animals for agriculture in emerging nations can transform subsistence farming into agricultural surplus.
