Don’t Miss Special Guest Dr. Tommy Butts
Dr. Tommy Butts is a Clinical Assistant Professor, Extension Weed Scientist at Purdue University. He previously was an Associate Professor, Extension Weed Scientist with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture from 2018-2024. Tommy originally hails from southern Wisconsin where he grew up working on and around small dairy farms. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Agri-Business at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Master of Science in Agronomy-Weed Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ph.D. in Agronomy-Weed Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Tommy’s research and Extension efforts focus on identifying novel weed management strategies through diversified methods including the use of precision agriculture, application technologies, and digital data in a targeted, site-specific approach. Further emphasis is placed on helping to increase herbicide application knowledge, safety, and effectiveness, while reducing off-target movement, both from ground-based and aerial (manned and remotely piloted) applications. His overall goal is to generate research-supported and effective weed management educational materials to be used by farmers and in the classroom to aid in battling complex weed problems. Tommy is also supported by his wife, Liberty, and two (soon to be three!) little kiddos, Brooker (4) and Brinley (2).
