Joseph Osenga
Graduate Research Assistant

My master’s research is to evaluate the use of seed treatments in a no-tillage soybean production system in Iowa.

Background
My upbringing on a small, family dairy farm outside of Union Grove, Wisconsin has instilled in me a belief in Midwestern values, such as persistence, practicality, and a healthy work ethic. These factors fuel my excellence in academics and my interest in agriculture. I consider helping farmers to produce and feed the world to be an honorable occupation.
