OTHER INFORMATION:Served as an expert witness for the Office of the Attorney General, State of Arizona, on a case involving durum wheat. My involvement lasted seven months. I traveled to Phoenix, Arizona on March 17-19, 1998 to provide my testimony. I was the only expert witness for the State of Arizona in this case. My testimony was key to winning the case for the State of Arizona and in saving the State from paying the plaintiff thousand of dollars. Served as chair of a committee assigned to redesign the cover of Agronomy Journal. The other four members of the committee were from other land-grant universities and one from Headquarters at the American Society of Agronomy. The committee was formed in early 1998 and we were to come to the ASA annual meeting in Baltimore in late 1998 with several cover possibilities for the ASA Editorial Board to discuss and from which a new cover could be selected. We complete the assignment and the response from Agronomy Journal readers regarding the new cover has been overwhelmingly positive.
