Career

change

In 1994, Watson got a Bachelors in Agricultural Science from Massey University (Palmerston North, New Zealand) and a Masters degree in Applied Science in 1995.[9][10][11] Watson received his PhD for Animal science and Grazing systems in 2000 and was recruited by the University of Georgia to lead a cattle grazing research program in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences where he helped developed a statewide grazing research program for cattle producers, looking at new forage and grazing technologies.[12][13][14]

Watson served as the State Extension Forage Specialist and Assistant Research Professor at Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at Mississippi State University between January 2004 to August 2006.[15][16][17]
