In a June 14, 2023 article from Successful Farming magazine he said, “ If its information, if it’s data, if it’s analysis, if it will help to make a decision, whatever that is, that’s my job. That is the most important thing for people to know. I’m not a research scientist who just got plugged into this position.  I’m really here to serve.”
