William Cox's passion his extension/research during his career emanated from a strong desire to support New York agriculture. To support that passion, he conducted a vigorous applied research program that focused exclusively on New York agriculture, conducting numerous experiments at the Aurora Research Farm and on farms throughout New York State to determine the best corn silage hybrids, soybeans varieties, and management practices for corn, soybean, and wheat.
