In Lubbock, Texas right now there are major opportunities for students in the Texas Tech Plant and Soil Sciences Department to find good jobs with Bayer Crop Science and Monsanto to name a few, said Dr. Peter Dotray.

Dotray works at the Texas Tech Plant and Soil Sciences Department, Texas A&M AgriLife Research and also with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

"I work for three different agencies," Dotray said. "I feel like research and extension make me a better teacher. The teaching part makes me a better extension person and so forth."
