Bob Whitney is back and brings his worldly experience. The organic program specialist previously served as a county agent for almost three decades before starting his own consulting company, in which he offered his agricultural expertise in 26 countries. His experience with producers across Texas, commodity boards, like texaspeanuts, and collaborations with borlaugiaefp, part of the tamusystem, create a body of work valuable to Texans and #AgriLife. “I feel my combined experience in both Texas and internationally will be of use in helping farmers throughout the state,” he said. As a specialist, Whitney works closely with #AgriLifeResearch scientists and texasagriculture certifiers to guide people and operations seeking organic certification.
