Brief Description of Current Duties with Appointment Percentages
Description of Current Duties:
Current duties focus on the economics of livestock production and marketing systems.
I provide leadership in the economic analysis of production and marketing challenges and
opportunities facing the agri-food system, including those induced by market forces, technology,
and policy issues, with particular emphasis on adding value to Oklahoma’s livestock industry.
More specifically, the duties of this position include:
Develop a research and extension program that examines both broad and narrow
questions of how the market works and that extracts the micro-economic implications for
livestock producers, with emphasis on adding value to Oklahoma’s primary livestock
enterprises;
Participate in multidisciplinary teams to address issues related to the interface of
livestock production and marketing;
Develop an extension program to disseminate research and information to Oklahoma’s
livestock producers;
Serve as an advisor and research supervisor for M.S. and Ph.D. students;
Provide curricula, training, and support for state, area, and county educators;
Cultivate external support from private and governmental sources; and
Publish in recognized peer-reviewed journals, extension publications, and related outlets
for professional peers and livestock industry stakeholders.
My fundamental objective is to develop a synergistic program of research and extension that
contributes to the discipline, improves producer decision-making through relevant educational
programming, and adds value to Oklahoma’s livestock industry.
Current Appointment Percentages:
Research: 75%
Extension: 25%
