What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Happy Retirement to Jack!

June 27, 2013 by Marilyn Odneal

Jack Atchison, who has worked at the State Fruit Experiment Station for 27 years, is retiring. Presently a field and maintenance worker at the Mountain Grove Campus, he is known for his fondness of John Deere tractors, his possum dinners and turnip soups, and his legendary rain dance. We will all miss Jack a lot and wish him good health and happiness in his retirement.
