Agronomic Services — Field Services

J. Kent Messick, section chief

Regional agronomists provide on-site consulting services to help growers troubleshoot nutrient and nematode problems, establish appropriate agronomic sampling programs and implement management recommendations in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner. By maintaining communications between growers and the Division's scientific and laboratory staff, they also ensure that the Division remains responsive to current problems.
