R. Jay Goos, WD0EGC—one of the instructors in RRRA’s Education program—is profiled in two recent Agweek articles focusing on his 40 year career at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and upcoming retirement:

• World soy chlorosis expert prepares to hang up lab coat
• 40 years of accomplishments

Goos’ distinguished career at NDSU started in 1980 after he completed his doctorate at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. “Until 2005, Goos was primarily in research but taught one course in soil fertility. When three professors retired suddenly, Goos took over the Introduction to Soil Science class. Goos is the only professor in the NDSU College of Agriculture to win the Senior Career Teaching Award twice—20 years apart.” ¹
