(Media-Newswire.com) - LINCOLN, Neb. — John Wilson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator in Burt County, was honored as having the top educational crop production program in the nation by the National Association of County Agricultural Agents.
The title of his program was "How Much Did You Contribute? Soybean Cyst Nematode Educational Programs for Nebraska Farmers and Agronomic Professionals."
Wilson was selected on the basis of an innovative program that he and UNL Extension plant pathologist Loren Giesler are conducting in Nebraska to raise awareness of soybean cyst nematodes and provide growers with aids for identifying and managing this yield-robbing pest.
This program was cited as having exceptional impact with the targeted audience.
Wilson and Giesler acknowledge the extent of this program would not have been possible without the support of the Nebraska Soybean Board.
NACAA consists of 3,400 members from around the United States. The award was given at the NACAA's annual meeting Sept. 21 in Portland, Ore.
