I work with commercial field and greenhouse vegetable growers who target the fresh, wholesale and processing markets in the Bay and Thumb areas of Michigan. My primary duties entail crop scouting, pest identification, crop management consultation, resource development, educational programming and facilitation of research projects with MSU’s main faculty researchers and grower collaborators. Secondary duties include on-farm food safety and pollination.
