    "A prosperity built on the basis of agriculture is that which is most desirable to us, because to the efforts of labor it adds the efforts of a greater proportion of soil."  --Thomas Jefferson: Circular to Consuls, 1792.

As an agricultural consultant and educator, I provide advice on the use and management of agricultural land and the crops grown on the land.

Key tasks include:
•visiting farms to scout and collect data on diseases, insects and weeds.
•analyzing and interpreting data and soil tests and recommend actions;
•conducting demonstrations;
•making presentations;
•preparing reports for each grower;
•developing and maintaining a set of client contacts;
•keeping clientele informed of the latest technologies.
•attending conferences and meetings to maintain competance.

Consultation visits to the farms requires a substantial amount of travel, that is reimbursed by the clientele. The working week is from Monday to Friday, although sometimes Saturdays are a necessity. Crops that we work with: Strawberry, Lettuce, Pepper, Tomato, Melons, Watermelon.

The timing of fungicide and insecticide sprays is critical in achieving economic pest control. Having the right type of sprayer to apply these pesticides is also critical to success.
