Expertise:
Boman
is the Extension cotton agronomist for District 2, Texas A&M
University Research and Extension Center at Lubbock, in the
Southern High Plains region of Texas. The High Plains annually
plants 3-4 million acres of cotton and produces about 3 million
bales. This region has been described by some as the largest
cotton patch in the world. Boman cooperates with other Extension
specialists, county extension agents, IPM agents, researchers
with Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Texas Tech University,
and USDA-ARS. He assists producers, producer organizations,
industry representatives, and others to identify promising new
technologies that may benefit dryland and irrigated cotton production
in the High Plains. His applied research includes variety, harvest
aid, and precision agriculture projects. Some of these projects
are in producer-cooperator fields, while others are at the Lubbock
Center, the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at Halfway,
the AGCARES facility at Lamesa, and the Western Peanut Growers
Research and Demostration Farm at Denver City. He also is an
adjunct professor at Texas Tech University.
