My instructional activities are related to the application of scientific research and new knowledge to agricultural practices through farmer education (Extension). The objective of these Extension activities are to enhance the economic and environmental sustainability of farms and rural economies by providing science-based information directly or through other Extension personnel to: 1) Corn, cotton and soybean producers,2) Fruit and Vegetable farmers; and 3)Governmental agencies interested in supporting alternative enterprises and markets for agricultural producers.
