Meet Mike Lacy

Mike Lacy is an associate professor in the sociology department, and is one of several faculty there who do research on environmental and economic issues. He is a native Kansan who reports that his first paid job as a teenager involved hoeing experimental plots for the Kansas State University agronomy department. Now thirty years later, he has come full circle to work with agronomists again as part of the SARE project, on which he is examining manure use by crop producers in Weld County. Besides that work, he also specializes in methods for analyzing quantitative social science data.
