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.

In 2025 we will be wrapping up some past work on corn flooding, and will be looking to start expanding work on seed science.

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).

I am most excited to see our students continue to learn about plant sciences and to see their excitement in our classes and in research activities.

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