Keynote Speakers (confirmed)
George Halkos, Professor in Economics of Natural Resources and Director of the Laboratory of Operations Research, University of Thessaly (Department of Economics)
Dayton M. Lambert, Professor and Willard Sparks Chair in Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources, Oklahoma State University (Department of Agricultural Economics )
Keynote Presentation: Leveraging Yield Response Information from Dense Field Data: A Comparison of Local Regression Methods
Dayton Lambert is a professor and Willard Sparks Chair in Agribusiness at Oklahoma State University Department of Agricultural Economics. Dr. Lambert’s research interests are production economics, regional economics, decision theory, and econometrics. He holds a joint research and teaching appointment. He received a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from Purdue University. His research focused on precision agriculture and the development of statistical models to estimate site-specific crop response to inputs. His current research program focuses on the role of information for strategic and tactical decision-making for rainfed cropping systems, the effects of conservation policy on land use decisions, and structural changes in the US dairy sector.
