Jeff Edwards currently serves on the faculty of Oklahoma State University as an assistant professor and small grains extension specialist. Jeff grew up on a diversified tobacco/beef cattle/timber farming operation Olaton, KY. He obtained a B.S. in ag-business from Western Kentucky University in 1995 and spent four years with Miles Enterprises Opti-Crop Division, as a crop consultant and manager. Dr. Edwards received a M.S. in Weed Science in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Crop Physiology in 2004 from the University of Arkansas. Dr. Edwards’ current research and extension program is geared towards increasing the adoption of conservation and no-tillage wheat production practices in the Southern Great Plains and optimization of the wheat/stocker cattle production enterprise. |
