Professorship

At A. Wilbert's Sons, we feel it is imperative to support research that aims to address topics that are important to our core businesses.

We are extremely proud to sponsor the A. Wilbert's Sons Professorship in Agriculture and Renewable Natural Resources at Louisiana State University. The recipients of this professorship have demonstrated excellence in their respective agricultural fields. These professors are able to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to address current and future problems we face in the agricultural and natural resources communities.

Currently, the professorship is held by Dr. Mike Salassi, the Head of the Department of Ag Economics and Agribusiness at Louisiana State University. Dr. Salassi's areas of expertise lie in farm management production economics, agricultural commodity policy, and agricultural land use value.
