Dahlberg named Kearney director

We are pleased to announce that Jeffery Dahlberg has accepted the position of Kearney director beginning Jan. 3.

Dahlberg will oversee both Kearney Agricultural Center (academic group) and Kearney Research & Extension Center. He will be based in Parlier and report to Bill Frost, the Research and Extension Center System associate director/Cooperative Extension assistant director.

Currently Dahlberg is research director for the National Sorghum Producers and the United Sorghum Checkoff Program and based in Lubbock, Texas. He conducts and publishes sorghum research and has worked to develop sorghum use in the biofuels and renewable industries and food industry.

“This newly configured position, combining leadership responsibilities for both units, requires a unique set of skills,” said Frost. “Jeff Dahlberg’s research and experience working with producers, industry and policymakers will be a tremendous asset to the division in his role as Kearney director.”

Dahlberg earned a Ph.D. in plant breeding at Texas A&M University, a master’s in agronomy & plant genetics at University of Arizona and a bachelor’s in biology at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
