Who Am I?

I am Tom Hodges, US citizen, living in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. I work at Stream International at internet technical support. I developed the Simpotato potato growth and yield simulation model while working for the USDA-ARS. The Simpotato model is intended to allow potato growers to reduce their applications of water and nitrogen on irrigated potato to the minimum needed for good yields and tuber quality without leaching water and applied chemicals into the ground water.

Professionally I hope to continue to work on integration of knowledge about cropping systems to develop sustainable agricultural production systems and precision farming systems. I am also interested in possible short term or part time consulting on crop model development and applications, scientific programming problems (FORTRAN), and web page design.
