Evan Taylor has joined the CEFS team as a research specialist at CEFS’ 2000-acre research facility in Goldsboro. Evan brings years of experience at NCDA research stations including the Caswell Research Farm and the Cunningham Research Station, both in Kinston. From 2009-2012 Evan was the Organic Research Specialist for the Kinston stations. At CEFS, Evan will work on research projects in both the Farming Systems Research Unit and the Small Farm Unit. He will also assist with CEFS’ apprenticeship, internship, and community-based programs in Goldsboro.
Says Evan, “my main areas of focus over the last several years have been grain production and cover crop production, especially in organic cropping systems. I am also very interested in stevia. I have worked with it for the last two years and find it interesting as a new crop for our NC farmers.”
Evan graduated from Lenoir Community College with an Associate Degree in Horticulture Technologies. He lives with his wife on the outskirts of Kinston.
