Research and Extension
The overall mission of my research and extension programs is: Nutrient management: sustaining agricultural production and environmental quality. To this end I have an applied research program which seeks answers to current and future problems related to agricultural production and environmental quality. Of particular interest is the impact of manure application on phosphorus dynamics in soil along with nitrogen management for field and forage crops.
In my extension programming, I seek to provide research-based information to farmers and ag professionals such that they can make economically and environmentally sound management decisions. One of my extension responsibilities is co-coordination of the educational program for the Wisconsin Fertilizer, Aglime, and Pest Management Conference held each January.
