Abstract: This commentary describes an Extension program that was developed from an academic research project. The program titled “Dairy Genetics: How does investment in genetics impact dairy farm profitability?” was developed for the 2025 Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) Graduate Student Extension Competition. This program takes academic research and provides meaningful transitways to disseminate research results to applicable audiences. The delivery plans include in-person presentations, a podcast recording, two popular press articles, and an online fact sheet
