My WAYNE R. P1ANTA
County Extension Agent — Hort.
Joe Daniel was honored at the
recent Texas Greenhouse Grower’s
Conference held in College Station
in November with an award for
Outstanding Service to the Texas
Greenhouse Industry. The annual
conference draws greenhouse
producers and retailers together
from all areas of the state for a
three day series of meetings and
presentations One award for Out-
standing Service to the greenhouse
industry is presented each year and
Daniel was this year’s receipient.
Daniel, who was a Cherokee
County Horticulture Extension
Agent from 1980 to 1987, is now em-
ployed at Powell Plant Farms in
New Summerfield where he works
in pest management and operates
the plant diagnostic laboratory
where diease and insect problems
are diagnosed for early treatment.
Powell Plant Farms, one of the
leading greenhouse crop producers
in Texas and the U S. with over
1,000,000 sq ft. of greenhouse space,
is currently involved in shipping
many of the 400,000 poinsettias they
produced this year with Daniel’s
help. Daniel was responsible for
monitoring the crop progress and
investigating techniques for disease
and insect control, as well as
documenting the effects of new
plant growth regulators being
tested on the farm.
Daniel is a resident of Ponta,
where he lives with his wife of eight
years, Debby, and his two sons,
Austin, 5, and Joel, 3 months. Prior
to moving to East Texas, Daniel
worked with azalea and vegetable
producers and served as a resource
person to vocational agriculture in-
structors in Green County,
Mississippi. He received his Master
of Science degree in horticulture
from Mississippi State University
where he worked primarily on
vegetable crops
In Cherokee County, Daniel was
instrumental in beginning the an-
nual Bedding Plant Seminars which
draws greenhouse growers from all
of Texas to Cherokee County each
June. Daniel’s work on the
Cherokee County Greenhouse
Buyer’s Guide, and the bedding
plant variety trials conducted at the
Dallas Arboretum have contributed
to an increased awareness of the
Cherokee County Greenhouse In-
dustry. Daniel is utilized as a
resource person by the Texas
Department of Agriculture, the
Texas Association of Nurserymen,
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service and horticulturists all over
the state when information on
greenhouse crop production is
needed.
In discussing the preparation of
this article with Daniel he ex-
pressed a desire to Live the
greenhouse industry a the focal
point rather than his personal
achievements. This typical un-
selfish attitude on Joe Daniel’s
part, and his interest in promoting
the greenhouse industry are
perhaps the main reasons why he
received this award for outstanding
service to the greenhouse industry,
an award he justly deserves
Educational programs conducted
by the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service serve people of all ages
regardless of socioeconomic level,
race, color, sex, religion, handicap,
or national origin.
