Chad Hart and Lee Schulz were featured in a Stories article focusing on how Iowa State Extension and Outreach has found new ways to connect with people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Schulz and Hart were featured for their huge local, national, and global media reach during the pandemic.

In April, Iowa State's Office of Strategic Relations and Communications stated that three CARD faculty members, Lee Schulz, Chad Hart, and Dermot Hayes, had a combined media reach of 1.7 billion people over a fourteen day span. Most of Hart and Hayes' reach came from an Associated Press article that ran in over 200 publications (Virus Closes Some Meat Plants, Raising Fears of Shortages), and most of Schulz' media reach came from an article by the Los Angeles Times (From caviar to apple juice, coronavirus is changing the way the world feeds itself).
