As head of the Department of Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science (AHPS), I provide the vision, leadership and

strategic direction and oversight in teaching, research and extension. I advocate for faculty, staff and leadership

throughout the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences. I lead the recruitment, development and retention of

faculty and staff as well as the growth of academic, research and outreach programs. I foster relations with industry,

government and alumni for the benefit of the university and its programs. I nurture existing public/private

partnerships in the pursuit of leveraging resources. I am responsible for representing the department throughout South

Dakota, the region and nationally. Within the department, I foster an environment of collaboration and success through

positive mentoring and thoughtful leadership.

The department is one of the premier departments within the university, it consistently is the top award winner within

the college. Our annual research awards have been ranging from $4.5 to $6.2 million from state, regional, national and

federal competitions. The department has two distinguished professors, 19 professors, six associate professors and 12

assistant professors. Four lecturers (Ph.D.) and one instructor (M.S.) solidify our teaching program. In addition, two

WEB-BASED TOOLS FOR AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS, FARMERS, AND MEDIA

Created the Plant Health Initiative website, www.planthealth.info. This website was developed in 2004 as to

provide science-based, information to Ag professionals, media, and farmers. It focused on solving production

problems in Midwest soybean production. Containing information on 23 soybean diseases, 13 soybean pests,

and a comprehensive library containing publications from Midwest universities, this website recorded 1.18

million unique visitors in 2011.

Created the Iowa Soybean Association Production Research Library,

www.iasoybeans.com/productionresearch in 2008. This website was developed as a resource of science-based

soybean production information for Iowa farmers and Ag professionals. The site contained 101 science-

publications in 2011which originated from the Iowa Soybean Association and Iowa State University. The

website recorded 32,709 downloads in 2011 from 395,545 global users.
