Michael Chester, associate professor of physics, was this year’s featured speaker as the 154th academic year at Mansfield University began with Convocation. In his address entitled “Physicist and Farmer: A Few Things That I’ve Learned,” he recounted how he and his wife went from farming novices to running a small working organic farm, raising produce and livestock. He talked of trials and tribulations of learning how to farm and extolled the virtues of organic farming.
