in Animal Husbandry from Michigan State University. He provides leadership
for research, is responsible for administration, and directs beef cattle research at
the Research Center. Lyle joined the staff in 1979 as Animal Scientist and
became Head in 1986. His research interests are beef cattle nutrition and forage
utilization by grazing beef cattle.
KEN KELLEY, Crops and Soils Agronomist, received a B.S. degree in
Agricultural Education and a M.S. degree in Agronomy from Kansas State
University. He has been a staff member since 1975. His research includes
evaluation of crop rotation systems, wheat management practices, and herbicides.
JIM LONG, Crop Variety Development Agronomist, received a B.S. degree from
Missouri Southern State College and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Agronomy from
the University of Arkansas. He joined the staff in 1990 and directs variety
performance testing of grains, works with plant breeders in development and
evaluation of new wheat and soybean cultivars, and conducts soybean production
research.
JOE MOYER, Forage Agronomist, received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in
Agronomy from Kansas State University. He has been a staff member since 1978.
His research evaluates cultivars and management practices with forage grasses
and legumes and forage utilization by beef cattle.
DAN SWEENEY, Soil and Water Management Agronomist, received a B.S.
