Pacific Ocean Grassland Industry

Having acquired a Ph.D. from Oregon State in biophysics, Dr. A. Morrie Craig obtained a postdoc in molecular biology at CalTech. His research on tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) led to the development of the concept which the USDA calls Phyto-Ruminal-Bioremediation. He has more than four decades of experience in veterinary medicine. In October, Doctor A. Morrie Craig will speak at the International Grassland Congress in Nairobi, Kenya.
