LSU AgCenter
The LSU AgCenter is pleased to announce that Ted Gauthier has been named the new head of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry.
A native of Avoyelles Parish, Gauthier, who previously served as director of the AgCenter Biotechnology Laboratory,was asked to step into the role of interim department head when Mark Leblanc retired from the AgCenter to accept the position of state chemist and seed commissioner for Indiana late last year. After a search was conducted, Gauthier accepted the permanent position in May.
The department head for agricultural chemistry oversees the agricultural chemistry laboratory, which is jointly maintained between the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the AgCenter.
