Station To Focus On Conventional Corn Research DEKALB. 111.—Dekalb Gene tics officials held a “Meet the Manager/News Media Confer ence” in Washington Court House, Ohio, recently station in this southern Ohio community. The research staff at this station will be under the supervision of Dan Currier. Prior to his arrival at Washing ton Court House, Currier was em ployed with Custom Farm Seed, a small regional seed company in Illinois, as a specialty com breed er. He is a 1982 graduate of Illi nois State University with a bachelor’s degree in agronomy, a master’s degree in entomology from the University of Nebraska, and he holds a doctorate in plant heeding from lowa State Univer sity. “The Washington Court House facility confirms Dekalb’s com mitment to be an ever increasing presence in this community and state,” said Brent Godshalf, asso ciate director of research for De kalb. “Preparation is under way for this research station to estab lish a full-size breeding nursery (10,000 pollinated tows) and six outlying yield testing sites throughout southern Ohio and southeast Indiana.” The Washington Court House area was chosen because its geo graphic location represents the 110 - 115 relative maturity (RM) zone of the East. “In addition to providing the environment and its associated stresses typical of the East, we were pleased by the soil type and topography which is con ducive to com research," added Godshalk. After canvassing much of southern Ohio, Dekalb officials selected Washington Court House as the best option. ‘This location allows a wide range of testing in surrounding environments,” said Currier. ‘Testing will be con ducted from the Scioto River Val ley, to die east, to locations in southeastern Indiana. Locations will be chosen to accommodate sampling of major environments and to complement testing already being conducted at adjacent De kalb com research stations.” The start-up of the new research facility is proceeding at a rapid pace. “We’re currendy in the pro cess of hiring additional employ ees ” said Godshalk. “Our plans are to have this facility fully staffed by this summer.” Initial staffing requirements call for rive full-time employees and nearly 40 part-time and summer employees. The Washington Court House facility will be Dekalb’s second com research station of this type in the state of Ohio. “Dekalb’s other Ohio research station is lo cated in Marion” said Currier. “The Marion station focuses on 105 and 110 RM hybrids.” The Washington Court House research station will focus on 110 and IIS Rm hybrids.
