Abstract
Gerald A. Miller (1943- ) was an Extension Agronomist and Professor of Agronomy at Iowa State University, with a background in soil sciences and agronomy. Miller's work was to promote and implement the best available technology for soil and water conservation and watershed protection; and develop and implement extension education programs for soil surveys and management, soil and water conservation, and land management. The collection contains research, data, correspondence, reports, maps, and papers created or collected by Miller to study and promote water quality and soil conservation efforts. The research materials cover the much of the state of Iowa with an emphasis on northeast and central Iowa. |
Biographical note
Gerald Arey Miller was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, in 1943. He graduated from Montevideo High School (1961) in Penn Laird, Virginia, then received his B.S. (1965) in Agronomy from Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech). He received his M.S. (1971) and Ph.D. (1974) in Soil Science from Iowa State University. Miller's professional career at Iowa State University began as a Research Assistant (1969-1971) in the Department of Agronomy. He was promoted to Research Associate (1971-1974) and was named Extension Agronomist (1974-1998) and Assistant Professor (1974-1977) shortly after completing his doctorate. Miller was promoted to Associate Professor (1977-1983) and Professor of Agronomy (1983-2010) and also served as Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (1998-2010). He was appointed interim Vice President for Extension and Outreach (2010). Miller retired from Iowa State University and received emeritus status in 2011. In addition to teaching at Iowa State, Miller's role as Extension Agronomist took him into regular contact with farmers and members of the agricultural industries of the state. He coordinated industry programs for the College of Agriculture; promoted and advocated for improved soil and water conservation efforts and watershed protection; and developed and implemented extension education programs on soil surveys and management, soil conservation, water quality, and land management. Miller was involved with the Army throughout his life. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant (1965) after graduating from the Virginia Tech Reserve Officer's Training Corp (ROTC). He served as the training officer for Company F, 1st Battalion, 1st Engineer Training Brigade, in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, until released from active duty (1968). He joined the Iowa National Guard (1969) and moved up in the ranks, from captain (1969), to major (1977), to two-star general (1993), where he assisted the commanding general of the First Army Area. Miller married the former Betty Knight and they had two children, Tamara and Brandon. |
Collection description
This collection (1889-2010, undated) contains correspondence, college coursework, scientific papers and published articles, reports, research data, and soil maps. These materials document Miller’s professional interests and include reference files that complement his research into soil and water conservation in Iowa. Papers directly related to Miller include coursework from his college days; papers and articles authored by Miller regarding agronomy, soil science, water quality, and water usage; and correspondence regarding various soil and water research projects and related issues. A significant portion of the files document Miller’s extensive research into water quality and soil issues in Iowa watersheds. The majority of these files focus on his research on watersheds in northeast Iowa (Big Spring Basin, Sny Magill Watershed) and along with the Skunk River and Three Mile Creek Watersheds in central Iowa. Less substantial information is available on other watersheds across the state. In general, these files include reports, maps, research data, and surveys of farming practices. There are also documents that serve as reference materials that are not necessarily a product of Miller's work, but closely related. These papers include county soil maps, Iowa land-use, contour relief maps of Iowa, water quality research, Integrated Farm Management reports, and 1980s-era Farm Progress Show overviews. Maps by the U.S. Department of the Interior for geological surveys of central and northeast Iowa focus on areas of watershed and agronomic research referenced elsewhere in the collection. |
Organization
This collection is organized into three series: |
