As a farmer, I appreciate the deep connection between agricultural and natural systems.  I enjoy sharing these perspectives and lessons learned over the years (from my involvement in production agriculture as well as research findings) with students here in Oregon and across the globe.

My research program focuses on development and support of weed management tactics that address grower economic growth while enhancing environmental stewardship for a viable and sustainable agriculture. I believe that understanding weed biology and ecology is a key to effective weed management in...
