Degrees Earned

• M.S. Soil Fertility, North Dakota State University, 1990
• B.S. Agronomy, The Ohio State University, 1983

Research Experience

Research in soil fertility, crop production, variety testing, crop physiology, and precision agriculture since 1980 in Ohio, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Current Research

• Precision agriculture.
  
  Project goals: Develop and support precision agriculture research
  at the University of Wyoming.
   
• Geographic Information System for management of the Wyoming
  Agricultural Experiment Station.
  
  Project goals: Use GPS and GIS to develop a management
  system for the three research and extension centers that will
  consolidate and integrate field records in a consistent and
  accessible format. Current focus is on SAREC (established 2003).
   
• Annual medic breeding and management.
  
  Project goals: To develop an annual medic variety adapted to
  Wyoming that can be integrated into a winter wheat
  production system.
   
• Austrian Winter Pea breeding and management trials.
  
  Project goals: To develop a winter pea variety adapted to
  Wyoming and optimum management practices for production. Professional Memberships
