The Pinal County Agronomy Program addresses the key challenges facing crop production today and delivers science-based recommendations to growers through workshops, field days, tent talks, fact sheets, a weekly newsletter, and peer-reviewed publications. I also partner with fellow specialists and stakeholders on interdisciplinary research projects to tackle pressing agricultural issues across Arizona.
