Nebraska Tractor Test Lab Gets New Director
Roger M. Hoy, a staff engineer with the John Deere Product Engineering Center in Waterloo, Iowa, will assume leadership of the lab, which tests tractors to make certain manufacturers' claims are met. Hoy replaces Leonard Bashford, who is retiring.

Ron Yoder, head of UNL's biological systems engineering department, said, "We are pleased that UNL successfully attracted an individual with Dr. Hoy's experience to fill the director position. In recent years, Dr. Bashford has broadened the areas of testing by the lab - for example, testing construction equipment and alternative fuels - and we know that Roger will continue to strengthen the testing and research that is done at the lab."

Yoder noted that Hoy is involved in national organizations such as the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers and the International Organization for Standardization. He's also recognized internationally as an expert in roll-over protection structures and has broad experience as a project manager.

I wonder if he will use soyfuel for testing?
