Dr. Ieuan Evans, Agri-Trend Senior Agri-Coach is Agrologist of the Year!
On March 17th, 2010 at The Banff Conference on Agriculture, Food and the Environment, AGRI-TREND Senior Agri-Coach, Dr Ieuan Evans was honoured by The Alberta Institute of Agrology as Agrologist of The Year. He began his career in Alberta in 1975 ...as Provincial Pathologist after six years with the University of Guelph. He gained a PhD in plant pathology from the University of Florida following his BSc (Honours) in Agricultural Botany and a BSc in Chemistry came from the University of Wales. Ieuan has pursued to make a difference in agriculture and indeed to the quality of life for all Canadians.
His no-nonsense approach has been applied in many areas of crop and horticultural production. In his career he has tackled bacterial ring rot in potatoes, Dutch elm disease, black leg in canola, copper deficiency in cereals and a host of other major crop issues. In fact, twelve of the twenty six named pests and diseases in the Agricultural Pests Act are there as a result of Dr. Evans’ foresight and tireless efforts.
He has worked at the academic and the field level and has been very involved with The Agricultural Service Boards support of The Agricultural Fieldmen Service. After 35 years of service with Alberta Agriculture, Dr Evans joined as a Senior Agri-Coach™ with Agri-Trend Agrology Ltd. Today Ieuan is still very active educating on disease issues, as well as copper and crop nutrition and running the bio-assay service for Agri-Trend. In addition to his consultation services, he provides training and support to the entire Agri-Trend Network which works directly with farm customers across Canada and the Northern US.
Ieuan has a passion for horticulture and is a renowned Lily breeder and has recently been teaching gardening courses of Hutterite colonies across Western Canada. He is a rugby fanatic and helped to establish the sport in Canada and has been a Professional Agrologist for thirty-one years. Dr Evans makes his home in the Devon area when he is not speaking or teaching at farm events.
