Crops & Soils Magazine Seeking Regional Editors

Crops & Soils magazine is seeking four Regional Editors to join the board. Candidates are appointed the president of the American Society of Agronomy for a three‐year term of service to begin Jan. 1, 2025.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is passionate about serving the practicing professional community and getting the best research-based practices down to the farm level. Those early in their careers can gain valuable board experience. Those more tenured in their careers can give back to the profession. Consider applying if you work in any of these regions: (i) West Region, (ii) Pacific Northwest Region, (iii) Northern Great Plains Region, and (iv) Eastern Canada Region. 

Crops & Soils magazine is distributed to more than 14,000 readers, most of which are Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs). By serving as a Regional Editor for this magazine, you could have a huge potential impact on acres across North America as CCAs are estimated to be involved in advising somewhere between half and three-quarters of the crop production acres in the U.S.! 

Magazine Regional Editors represent a region on the board, provide several story ideas each year, and provide feedback to magazine staff or answering technical questions from time to time.

Persons interested in the position may nominate themselves or be nominated by an active member of ASA, CSSA, or SSSA or a CCA. Candidates should email me a paragraph or two about their interest in and qualifications for the position no later than June 15, 2024, at [email protected]. Please contact me for a complete position description or with any questions.
