Joy Hollingsworth, UCCE Table Grape Advisor for Tulare and Kings Counties
Joy Hollingsworth is the new Table Grape Farm Advisor for the University of California Cooperative Extension serving Tulare and Kings Counties. She has a bachelor’s degree in Communication from the University of California, Davis, and a master’s degree in Plant Science from California State University, Fresno. Most recently, Hollingsworth spent three years serving as the UCCE Nutrient Management/Soil Quality Advisor for Fresno, Madera, Kings and Tulare Counties. In that position she worked on research and extension projects in a variety of agricultural systems, including work on dairy manure, cover crops, and biostimulants in raisin grapes. Prior to that, Hollingsworth spent six years working as a research associate for the University of California on agronomic cropping systems, including sugar beets, canola, and sorghum. Her wide agricultural background will help in this new role and she looks forward to working with growers, consultants, allied industry, and government agencies to help them address challenges facing viticulture in the San Joaquin Valley.
