Dr. Alex Lindsey

I worked on a farm picking vegetables in high school. While there, the strawberries developed a problem so my boss called in a state extension agent - who quickly diagnosed the issue & told them exactly how to fix it. I thought that was super neat.

• Abiotic stress in field crops - defoliation, simulated hail damage & flooding work in corn.

• Pennycress as a potential bio fuel source for Ohio growers - looking at improving establishment through seed treatment.

I briefly worked in sales between my BS & MS. Working in the industry led me to a lot more questions & I wanted to learn how to answer those question - which is why I ultimately pursued a career in academia.

None currently

The American Society of Agronomy Conference & The North American Colleges & Teachers of Agriculture Conference - are two of my favorites. These support both areas I enjoy: research (ASA) & academic (NACTA).

The continued growth & expansion of our department - from both a student & faculty perspective.

I enjoy spending time with my family. I'm also involved with the Certified Crop Advisor Board for Ohio.
