Rob Myers, director of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture and an extension professor in Plant Science and Technology, has been inducted into the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) Hall of Fame.
The honor was presented during the 19th annual Conservation in Action Tour in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Myers was recognized alongside another individual and a pioneering organization.
Myers and his colleagues earned this distinction for their contributions to advancing conservation agriculture and encouraging farmers and agricultural professionals to adopt locally led, voluntary approaches to farmland conservation and regeneration. The recognition highlights individuals who have played a significant role in supporting CTIC’s mission and driving innovation in sustainable farming practices.
In his leadership role, Myers manages major initiatives, including a $25 million USDA-funded Missouri CRCL Project and the $10 million National Cover Crop Variety Development Project. He also oversees additional grants focused on research, education, and extension programs.
The Center promotes practices that improve soil health, such as cover crops, no-till systems, and regenerative grazing. Myers has also mentored many students, inspiring them to pursue careers in regenerative agriculture.
