The Research Coordinator leads OAK’s project to adapt and trial the tool in Kentucky. If you are an early-career or experienced researcher, familiar with national data and scholarly articles on agriculture productivity, pricing, crop nutrients, agriculture greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable farming practices then give this opportunity a close look.
