Summer, 1996 (v8n3)
After nearly seven years with SAREP, Chuck Ingels has taken a new job as UC Cooperative Extension farm advisor in Sacramento County. Ingels was SAREP's perennial cropping systems analyst. His many accomplishments during his tenure with SAREP include his work to form the UC Cover Crops Workgroup (see page 2), his development of information on attracting barn owls to farms, his participation as a management team member for the Biologically Integrated Orchard Systems (BIOS) program for walnuts in Yolo and Solano counties, and his production of the UC publication Protecting Groundwater Quality in Citrus Production (ANR Publication No. 21521). Ingels is also coordinating the writing of Cover Cropping in Vineyards: A Grower's Handbook, an extensive publication which will include contributions from 21 UC and Natural Resources Conservation Service personnel; it is expected to be published by UC ANR Publications in 1997.
Ingels' areas of responsibility as a Sacramento County farm advisor will include pomology (mainly pears), viticulture, and environmental horticulture. He will also coordinate Sacramento's large Master Gardener program. Ingels is replacing Roger Duncan, who is now a pomology/viticulture farm advisor in Stanislaus County.
Ingels' extensive
experience working with farmers and researchers throughout the state,
his mediation skills, thoughtful and conscientious manner, tremendous
writing output and seemingly endless energy will be sorely missed by his
colleagues at SAREP. We send him off with our best wishes for a successful
career, and are happy that he is staying in the "Cooperative Extension"
family.
