The University of Wyoming Extension has hired Hannah Rodgers as a research scientist in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics.
As a research scientist, Rodgers will help producers navigate Wyoming’s harsh environmental conditions and access tools and resources to understand weather and climate-related issues. Rodgers will research drought-adaptation strategies for Wyoming and create educational materials on these practices.
Rodgers will also work with technical service providers that regularly assist Wyoming producers with extreme weather. These TSPs include staff from state and federal land management agencies, conservation districts, and the Farm Services Agency. Rodgers’ position is funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant.
