Research interests are focused on the biological interactions between trees and companion crops as they relate to the design of agroforestry practices. Areas of interest include Alley Cropping, Silvopasturing, Riparian Buffers and Forest Farming. In particular, research emphasizes the combining of trees and companion crops to optimize economic and environmental benefits.

Agroforestry related projects include developing repositories of pecan, chestnut, and hazelnut at the Horticulture and Agroforestry Center. We have established cultivar trials of pecan, and chestnut to help identify cultivars suitable to north-central Missouri. To investigate the nut yield and quality potential of chestnut, an intensively managed Chinese chestnut nut production orchard has been established. I am also active in the Missouri Nut Growers Association, the Northern Nut Growers Association, and the Chestnut Growers of America Association.
