Alan D Meijer
Extension Associate:
Tillage & Soil Management
 
RESPONSIBILITIES

 The primary focus of my work is to extend current tillage research information to producers and extension agents. In time, I aim to develop a dynamic extension program that will utilize applied research and field demonstration projects on the effects of long-term conservation tillage practices on soil bulk density, soil structure, soil organic matter maintenance and water relations. My work will focus in, but not be limited to, the Coastal Plain and Tidewater Regions of the state.
