NC State Crop and Soil Sciences professor of soil physics and hydrology Josh Heitman has been named a 2021 American Society of Agronomy Fellow. The awards are presented to Society members to recognize outstanding contributions to agronomic science through education, service, and research.
.
“Dr. Heitman is one of the most, if not the most, productive faculty members with whom I have ever worked. He has a comprehensive understanding of soils and a working knowledge of agriculture, as he grew up on a farm,” Osmond said. “His ability to synthesize information and move it to a higher level of understanding is truly unique.”

The ASA website notes, “Fellow is the highest recognition bestowed by the American Society of Agronomy. Members of the Society nominate worthy colleagues based on their professional achievements and meritorious service. Less than 0.3 percent of the Society’s active and emeritus members may be elected Fellow.”
