I’m excited to serve as your new regional extension agronomist with WSU Extension, based in Colfax and working across Whitman, Asotin, Columbia, Garfield, and Walla Walla counties. My goal is to connect with you—growers, ag industry partners, and the broader agricultural community—to support local cropping systems and address our challenges.
I bring experience in agronomic consulting, on-farm research, and diverse cropping systems from my previous role as a field crops extension agent in North Carolina. There, I worked in the number one small grains and soybean producing county but also provided technical assistance to corn and cotton growers.
Most importantly, I’m eager to learn about the opportunities and challenges of dryland production in our region. I look forward to visiting farms, collaborating on applied research, and working alongside you to strengthen our agricultural systems.
Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions, ideas, or just to introduce yourself. 509-397-6290 | morgan.menaker@wsu.edu.
I look forward to meeting you all in the field or at meetings and building strong partnerships here in SE Washington.
