Larry D. Godsey is the Economist for the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry. Research interests include the economic and financial aspects of agroforestry and alternative forest products. Areas of interest include economic indicators, sustainable agriculture, both macro and micro level economic analysis, taxation and funding incentive programs for alternative land uses and economic modeling. Current studies include the economic analysis of black walnut in a Missouri alley cropping system; marketing of red cedar, pine straw, curly willow and other special forest products grown in agroforestry practices; and maximizing financial benefits through environmental stewardship.
