NACAA
Recognizes Two
.!
DAUPHIN (Dauphin Co.)
Two Pennsylvania cooperative
extension agents have been recog
nized for their educational pro
grams by the National Association
of County Agricultural Agents
(NACAA).
Alan H. Michael, multicounty
agent in ornamental horticulture,
based in Dauphin County, and
Carol Schurman, Indiana County
4-H agent, have been honored in
the NACAA Search for Excel
lence awards program.
The Search for Excellence pro
gram recognizes 20 agents from
across the nation in the areas of
farm income, administrative man
agement, 4-H and youth, urban
programs, and rural development
Both agents presented their pro
grams to participants at the
NACAA annual conference in Lit
tle Rock, Ark.
Michael was recognized for a
program of integrated pest man
agement in commercial green
house crop production. The pro
gram was designed to reduce
pesticide usage in control of
whiteflies and other greenhouse
insect pests and to transfer bio
logical control technology into
commercial greenhouses, helping
to reduce worker, crop, and en
vironmental exposure to pesti
cides. The three-year program
showed that biological control and
regular scouting for pests is effec
tive and economical.
The seven growers involved
were able to reduce pesticide ap
plications. Six growers eliminated
50 percent of previous applica
tions, and one grower, using only
bio-control, eliminated 100 per
cent of previously applied insecti
cides. Michael also produced a
video which has been viewed by
1,200 people. The Pennsylvania
Vegetable Growers and Pennsyl
vania Department of Agriculture
also provided funding for the pro
gram.
Schurman was honored for her
work with enrivonmental educa
tion of county youth in a day camp
setting. Her program has involved
121 youth in five day camp set
tings and 185 youth in other edu
cational settings. Youth have re
ceived information in such areas
as water quality, plants, soils, en
vironmental shopping, forestry,
wildlife, and nature study. More
than 90 percent of the youth in
volved have indicated a know
ledge gain in these areas.
Schurman also .won an award
from Lesco, Inc. for her horticul
tural program which includes a
yearly 4-H flower and vegetable
show involving 25 4-H members
