ISU NAMES NEW LEOPOLD CENTER DIRECTOR
The president of a 3,500-acre North Dakota organic farming operation has
been appointed the director of the Leopold Center for Sustainable
Agriculture at Iowa State University. Frederick L. Kirschenmann
responsibilities at the center on July 1 on a partial appointment until
after crops on his farm are harvested.
Martin L. Jischke, ISU's president, noted that Kirschenmann's broad
experience includes service as a faculty member and administrator in four
colleges; positions of leadership in state, national and international
agricultural organizations; and more than 20 years of hands-on experience in
putting theories of sustainability into practice on his own farm.
"Dr. Kirschenmann has a talent for looking into the future, bringing people
together to agree on goals and keeping them together to get things done.
We're delighted that he will provide leadership for the Leopold Center,"
Jischke said.
Wendy Wintersteen, Leopold Center advisory board member and head of the
search committee, said, "I feel that Dr. Kirschenmann is an excellent choice
to move forward the ideals of sustainable agriculture in Iowa. He has an
understanding of the philosophy, science and practical business aspects of
sustainable agriculture."
Allen Trenkle, distinguished professor of animal science, has served as
interim head of the Leopold Center since the retirement of Dennis Keeney in
December 1999.
