Semi-technical and popular presentations
While Extension Specialist at the University of Idaho , I gave more than 90 different presentations to farmers, fertilizer dealers and others. The topics ranged from fertilizing sugarbeets to understanding soil testing to reducing the effects of improper soil tillage on soil structure.
While employed at Unocal, I gave more than 200 general agronomic presentations to farmers, fertilizer dealers and others. The talks covered a wide of topics including fertilizer management for optimum crop yield and quality, tillage, soil testing, and crop growth and development. In addition, I gave approximately 200 presentations that were designed specifically to promote Unocal products. These presentations were made throughout the western US and Mexico .
As Superintendent of the Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center , I make 10 to 15 presentations per year to grower groups and industry representatives on topics ranging from fertilizer agronomy to soil pH.
