(View publications under the "Works" tab)

Agriculture production is challanged with the need to increase yields while maintaining farm profitability. Technology and farm data are becoming more integral to producing food. My research and extension focuses on machinery automation and use of spatial data to improve the farm business and in-season decisions with specialization on developing and evaluating technology or automated components related to application equipment to more accurately place and meet site-specific crop and soil needs.
