Understanding Grain Aeration: Best Practices for Grain Storage

Dr. Ron Palmer, former University of Regina Faculty

Dr. Ron Palmer was born on a small farm near Southey, Saskatchewan. He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974. He obtained his Master's degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Manitoba in 1979, and then went on to obtain his PhD also from the University of Manitoba. In 1982, Dr. Palmer joined the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Regina and helped develop the new program in Electronic Information Systems. His research involved work on farm operation efficiencies, and the most notable work was in pioneering auto-steering. In 2011, Dr. Palmer retired from the University, but continues to work on projects at the Indian Head Experimental Farm in Saskatchewan.
