Extension Programs
Post-harvest Crop
Management
The
objective of the Post-harvest Crop Management program is to help managers of crop drying and
storage systems (this includes farmers and other agribusiness personnel)
increase profitability, improve product quality, and reduce energy use through
selection of appropriate post-harvest equipment and proper management of that
equipment.
One of the
NCR-SARE cooperative agreements for which I manage the budget is largely for
training Extension personnel and other agricultural educators. This is the
NCR-SARE Chapter 3 or Professional Development Program.
