Isaac Madsen
My extension and research program focuses on oilseed production in Washington State. I can assist you with questions regarding oilseed production including stand establishment, winter survival, nutrient management and variety selection. Additionally, I am interested in alternative cropping practices such as oilseed-legume intercropping and dual purpose (grazing) winter canola.

Clark Neely
My research and extension program focuses on identifying production systems and practices that maximize economic returns for dryland producers in central and eastern Washington. I am interested in evaluation of basic agronomic practices for wheat and other common crops across the region as well as looking at alternative crops and how they fit into cropping rotations. I am also interested in the role soil plays in cropping systems and how we can improve their productivity through nutrient management, water capture and storage, and building organic matter.
