Kee receives the Secretary’s Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture
2.05.2008
NEWARK, Del. — Delaware Secretary of Agriculture Michael Scuse presented the Secretary’s Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture to Ed Kee, a longtime Extension vegetable specialist at the University of Delaware on Jan. 26.
The award was given in recognition of meritorious service to Delaware agriculture.
“Many men and women in Delaware have made significant contributions to Delaware agriculture. Several deserving people were nominated for this award,” Scuse said. “I want to remind everyone that it is an honor to be nominated and I thank everyone who took the time to nominate these dedicated people.
“Kee was chosen because of his more than 35 years of meritorious service to Delaware agriculture and community involvement. His accomplishments are many and he is recognized locally, nationally and internationally by his peers for his work. He will soon be leaving the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, but not food and agriculture, to take a position with Hanover Foods,” Scuse added. “I cannot imagine the university without him, but I am sure that he will always answer the call if we need him.
“Since 1978 when Ed came on board, Delaware has seen a 10,000-acre increase in vegetable production, and this has resulted in an increase in cash farm income of $15 million,” said Robin Morgan, dean and director of the University of Delaware of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
