Dr. Greg Crutsinger of Scholar Farms is recognized for his groundbreaking process development work. Data is the commodity, and how it is collected, processed, and disseminated is what really matters moving forward. We understand well that regulatory grade data is where the real value is, and that data should be collected employing a repeatable process.

Some examples of his cutting edge work on the Tubbs, Carr, and Camp Fires:

Santa Rosa Coffey Park (Tubbs fire)

Redding and Shasta County (Carr Fire)

It’s not all post-disaster; he also uses scientific methods to help farmers conjure up useable data sets to help make dollars and sense of what is going on down at the farm. Congratulations for raising the bar!
