Nathan Kleczewski, Extension Specialist – Plant Pathology; nkleczew@udel.edu; @Delmarplantdoc
This will be my final WCU, as I will be leaving to start a new position with the faculty at the University of Illinois as their field crop plant pathologist in November. I would like to sincerely thank the agricultural community in Delaware and Maryland for all the help these past 4½ years. I truly enjoyed and valued my time here at the University of Delaware, my interactions with growers and the industry, and hope I can, “pay it forward” to whomever serves you as your pathologist in the future. It means a lot to me to hear all the kind words and statements about my time here and value to the community. Delaware and Maryland are full of great people, wonderful growers and expert ag professionals. I look forward to collaborating with Delaware and Maryland in the future, and hopefully will see you again at events such as Crop School and Ag Week. In the meantime, enjoy your Fall and Winter, make sure to select the right varieties and rotate, and if you don’t know what disease is affecting your crop, have it confirmed by a diagnostic lab!
Cheers,
Nathan
