It also enables Juan to travel to CIAT to facilitate implementation of some experiments
there.
Several of our students were awarded the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board Fellowship.
Awardees include Matthew Woolard, Noah Reed, Carrie Ortel, and Tristen Avent.
Dr. Bronc Finch has begun his role as a State Soil Fertility Specialist with UADA. He will be an Assistant Professor in the Crops, Soils and Environmental Sciences Department and his office is located in the State Extension Office in Little Rock.
Dr. Finch's primary focus will be on soil fertility for forage and pasture production. He received his doctorate from Oklahoma State University where his work focused extensively on continuous winter wheat forage production systems for the state of Oklahoma. A large portion of Dr. Finch's research has focused on forage nutrient management and forage cover cropping in winter wheat grazing systems. However, during his graduate studies, he managed trials in various cropping systems, which he feels has built a strong background that will be effective in assisting producers in Arkansas and surrounding states.
