Dr. Ted Schroeder, K-State distinguished professor of Agricultural Economics, in the Department of Agricultural Economics, has been selected to receive the 2024 Mark and Eva Gardiner Innovation and Excellence Faculty Award.

In announcing the award, Mark Gardiner said, “Dr. Ted Schroeder is a lifelong educator that truly made a difference in our family and Gardiner Angus Ranch’s growth and sustainability. In 1995, the beef industry in America was failing. A few fellow K-State alums and I, along with a few others concerned about the decline in the beef industry, developed a bold plan that eventually became U.S. Premium Beef (USPB). Dr. Schroeder was instrumental in advising us as we developed our plan.”
