Hansen replaces Ed Kee at UD Extension
2.26.2008
Dave Hansen has been named the ag leader for University of Delaware Cooperative Extension. In this role, he will oversee Extension’s agricultural programming and research efforts statewide. He replaces Ed Kee, who is retiring from Extension after a 30-year career.
Hansen, a nutrient management specialist, has been employed by UD Extension since 1999. He will continue his regular responsibilities, advising the agricultural community on nutrient management issues and teaching UD students, while serving as ag leader.
“Every one of Delaware’s 555,000 acres of harvest cropland is influenced by the non-biased research base provided by Extension professionals,” said Jan Seitz, associate dean and director of UD Cooperative Extension. “Extension’s ag programming is vital to the agricultural community. I can’t think of a better person than Dave Hansen to lead this important program area.”
Hansen said he has enjoyed building relationships with Delaware’s agricultural producers during the past nine years and looks forward to further strengthening those ties as the new ag leader.
“It’s great living and working in a small state,” said the Iowa native. “When I’m at a meeting with 140 people, I’ve probably already spent many hours in the field with most of them. Such ongoing relationships allow you to build a lot of credibility — I know that Extension is viewed as a trusted resource in the ag community.”
Hansen and his wife, Susan White-Hansen, live in Geogetown, Del. White-Hansen is a precision agriculture specialist at UD. In their spare time, the couple enjoys home and garden projects and their two dogs.
