Rich Price

Rich grew up on a small cash crop farm in mid-Michigan where his family grew corn, soybean, wheat, sugar beets, and dry beans. After attending college at Michigan State University, he worked for Monsanto Company as part of their northern corn testing team. He began working at MSU in 2011 while working on a master’s degree in Crop and Soil Science as a research assistant. In 2016, he started to work in Dr. Bruno Basso’s digital agriculture lab using modern technologies like precision equipment and remote sensing tools to discern trends in spatial and temporal variability of cropping yields across the Midwest. In his current position with MSU Extension, he works to educate stakeholders through a variety of ways in learning about how technology can be used as a tool to drive more informed decisions.
