"Dale" Flowerday has introduced students to the
world of agriculture education.
-i However, next spring, a new professor will greet
that 9 am. class. .
After receiving three degrees at UNL and spend
ing 27 years on the staff, Flowerday resigned early
this month to accept a position as agronomy man

inspirational, challenging and always different."
Flowerday is well known on East Campus for hfo

' "I try to create an informri, relaxed atmosphere
and maka It fun for the student," he said. "A student
b more likely to learn and retain in a favorable
environment than a distasteful one. I like to bring in
relevant cxarr.p!:3 and rchts the familiar with the
. unfamiliar."
Robert Olson advised Flowerday as a graduate
student working on his master's and doctorate pro
grams. Olson said he thinks Flowerday missed hb
' calling. , . ...
With the dynamic personality and gift for spon
taneous wit that he posscses, Olson said, "He should
have been a Bob Hope."
Raised on afarm northeast of Seward, Flowerday.
beon hb undergraduate work at UNL with "aspira
tions of becoming a vocational agriculture teacher.
"In high school I had a very good Voc rg' Instruc
tor who encouraged me to come to coHe"3," Flower
day said. "His name waa V.G. Morford and he was my
hero." :" -
. Flowerday received his bachelor's degree from
UNL in 1B50 and received a fellowship for hb mas
ter's program. The Korean conflict was ur.dcrvay,
and "under pressure from Uncle Sam, I finished my
master's in one year," Flowerday said.
After a two-year hitch in the army, he returned to
UNL and completed hb doctorate program in lCgO.
He had several positions at UNL before accepting a
post in Colombia, South America as deputy director
of the NU mission there. Flowerday said living in
Columbia was a good experience.
"It was a cultural shock coming home," he said.
"People down there worry about where their next
meal b coming from. People here were concerned
about whether their son was going to play little
league or if their daughter was going to be a
cheerleader."
Flowerday returned to UNL in 1S9. He started
hb most recent position of agronomy professor in
1973, with a split appointment CD percent teach
ing and 20 percent research.
In a 10 year period, Flowerday said, the percen
tage of students in hb class with non-farm back
grounds has increased from 5 to 30 percent, which
has made teaching tougher. He said he believes he
has been successful because grades didnt seem to
dilTer between rural and urban students. C
The decline in the nurr.l rr of family farms
showed up thb fdl with fewer students," he f rJd.
There are just not as many people out there on the
farm."
Flowerday leaves the university willi a deep con
cern for resources that support agriculture and the
direction that agriculture will take in the future.
Until government agricultural policies settle on
long-range goals, piecemeal farm programs will con
tinue to get us in trouble, he said. .
The biggest challenge facing Nebraska agricul
ture b the adequate management of ecil and water
resources so we can have a sustained agricultural
future," Flowerday said.
