Senior
Faculty Award for Excellence in Extension
Marshal
D. McGlamery
Marshal D. McGlamerys career could best be characterized as
one of dedication to delivering science-based information to the people
of Illinois. Due to his attendance at countless Extension meetings
over the years, he has developed a reputation as the weed control
expert. Through his excellent understanding of weed science, McGlamery
has been able to identify problems and opportunities, often before
they became major problems across the state. Illinois farmers and
agribusiness personnel particularly appreciate his candid remarks
concerning individual herbicide performance.
McGlamery is in high demand as a speaker, and he is frequently invited
to various state, regional, and national meetings. Blending science
with common sense, his messages are meaningful, realistic, and practical
and are seasoned appropriately with a keen sense of humor. His speaking
engagements include agronomy days, field days, agricultural pesticide
dealer and applicator clinics, and the annual Illinois Crop Protection
Technology Conference.
Known as a straight shooter who tells it like it is, McGlamery has
provided the unbiased assessment that so many Extension clients indicate
that they want from university Extension scientists. |
