Re: job announcement in Kentucky, MS training
jimmy
i don't have any canidate suggestions for you, but our variety test person
retired in dec and we have restructured the postition to a technician level
position. the qualifications are much similar to yours, except we could
only get it funded if we promised to do some work in the area of animal
manure nutrient utilization. so our position will do "traditional" variety
testing, but also some nutrient utilization with forage plants.
if you get an over supply of canidates i would be interested in hearing from
you.
