SPENCER SCOTT ~ CONSULTANT: Commercial Farmer; and Building Commercial & residential structures have occupied a great deal of my life. Commercial farming in North Central Washington State, of organic nuts, soft fruit , and organic vegetables and their interstate marketing ; and growing of 8 varieties of conventional pears commercially packed and nationally sold, while taking advanced studies in entomology, and maintaining, continuing education credits for a registered pesticide applicator’s license has occupied several interesting 
years. Farming has always had drawing influence being around our family farms, of commercial soya bean, cotton production, and vegetables.Leasing my farming operations, and accepting a Travel commitment overseas to work as a consultant/ farm director, farm marketing analyst , procurement and logistic specialist, to assist a University in getting it’s 1700 acre commercial farm back inline and in production while interfacing with the 8,000, acre cattle operations. Reviewing and taking an overall production assessment and sharing a vision with administrators, faculty, and farm staff of seize-able potential. Then with only the Almighty’s help; a tangible, Realizable production reality contrast was produced, in the farming of selected crops, and fruit, and in marketing and income from fresh sales and engagement of specialty events and value added product . This way-mark was erected, with the hard work and long hours of dedicated farm employees. The affirmative answered call, committed and consumed a span of four years, that was marked some intriguing challenges, in combination with lifelong memorable moments. The current privilege of working for the owner of a multinational company based in the US in the capacity of grower and executive operations manager, new product representative, of a research testing development center and year round commercial green housing farming operation, combined with seasonal field crop production; employing one of the most advanced hydroponic systems available on the market today as the green house growing platform.
