Speaker Bio:
Dustin F. Lewis (PhD)
Dr. Lewis is currently the District Manager for the East Coast for BASF. Dustin grew up on a small beef cattle farm in rural East Tennessee. He received his BS and MS in Plant Sciences from the University of Tennessee and followed with a PhD in Agronomy/Crop Science/Weed Science from North Carolina State University. He has worked for BASF since 2013 and has worked his way up the ranks as Field Biologist, Tech Service Manager and Technical Marketing Manager.
Adam P. Gaspar (PhD)
Dr. Gaspar is currently the agronomist for DuPont Pioneer in northern Illinois. He grew up on the family farm in East Central South Dakota. Adam went to the University of Wisconsin for his MS and PhD and his research and extension activities in soybean and wheat have covered many aspects of modern, Midwest row crop production. His research is very applied in nature and the resulting outreach is targeted at the farm level where they can be immediately adopted by producers.
