Perry Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1992, his M.S. from the University of Guelph in 1989, and his B.S. from the University of Saskatchewan in 1984. His research interests are to develop dryland management principles for diversified cropping systems in the Northern Plains, optimize soil water and N use efficiency, improve soil quality, increase or stabilize economic returns and foster sustainable agricultural management.

CASMGS Research
"We are examining the value of 'best management practices' in accumulating soil organic carbon in Montana cropland. One project looks at the historical (6 - 10 years) effect on soil organic carbon in 'across the fence' comparisons of no-till vs. conventional tillage management for six farm pairs in north central Montana. These results are used to validate model predictions by measuring increases in soil organic carbon as affected by tillage system (significantly greater in no-till) and soil texture (higher the clay content, more pronounced the tillage effect). A second project is designed to be long-term (minimum 5 years) and investigates soil carbon effects due to land conversion to no-till management, and the effect of intensifying cropping systems from crop-fallow to annual cropping. This research takes place on 80-acre fields in north central Montana (the 'Triangle') with farmers implementing all land management practices. Measurements of nitrous oxide emissions, another important greenhouse gas, and economic costs associated with alternative management practices addressed in this project."
