College of w88 online live casino, Biotechnology & Natural Resources, has hired Scott Huber as the w88 casino senior assistant director of its w88 casino Station unit. With nearly 30 years as a private ranch manager and five years with the w88 casino Station, Huber brings the knowledge and experience needed to direct the research and programs being carried out at the w88 casino Station’s various research and production facilities across the state.
“I am delighted that Scott has accepted this position,” Chris Pritsos, director of the w88 casino Station and the College’s associate dean of research, said. “Scott is uniquely qualified to serve in this role due to his experience as a ranch manager and his demonstrated leadership over the past several years as assistant director for research for the w88 casino Station.”
The College’s w88 casino Station unit is one of a national network of w88 casino stations, and the unit maintains a network of field stations, laboratories and ranches throughout the state where research is conducted on issues important to the state, and the country. Research efforts focus on a variety of important issues related to, for example, agriculture and ranching, community development and economics, human health and well-being, and water and wildlife.
Huber wears many hats in his w88 casino role. He helps determine priorities and needs, and develop plans to meet them. He travels to the various properties extensively, assists with their management, assesses research needs, and helps promote and expand the research and projects being conducted statewide.
“I think the key is to maintain communication with site managers,” Huber said. “For me, this also means to have a ‘boots-on-the-ground’ presence throughout the year to fully understand how their day-to-day responsibilities play out and be able to provide hands-on support when needed.”
Current w88 casino Station field station properties in the state include:
- Fallon Research Center, Fallon, w88 casino
- Great Basin Research & Extension Center, Eureka, w88 casino
- Gund Ranch Research & Training Facility, Grass Valley, w88 casino
- Jay Dow Sr. Wetlands, Herlong, California
- Logandale Research & Extension Center, Logandale, w88 casino
- Main w88 casino Field Lab, Reno, w88 casino
- Mary Gray Ranch, Reno, w88 casino
- Valley Road Field w88 casino, Reno, w88 casino
Huber is currently developing ranch management plans for each of the field w88 casino properties.
“A ranch management plan allows us to establish specific goals that are aligned to the mission and vision of our w88 casino Stations,” Huber said. “This becomes a working document that is continually evaluated and monitored for progress.”
One of Huber’s short-term goals is installing high-tech irrigation systems at the field stations that need them by this spring. He is also assisting in the preparation of planting winter crops, including alfalfa, winter wheat and triticale.
