Mr. Cadenhead is an Assistant Professor and Extension Range and Brush Specialist for the Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Vernon, TX. Mr. Cadenhead received his B.A. (1973) in Biology from Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene, TX; and his M.S. (1975) in Range Science from Texas A&M University. He continued his studies in Range Management at New Mexico State University until he began his present duties with the Extension Service in early 1980.

Mr. Cadenhead serves the High, South and the Rolling Plains Extension Districts which encompass sixty-six counties in North-central and Northwest Texas. His educational programming has been concentrated on rangeland brush and weed management with extra emphasis in integrating mechanical, chemical and prescribed fire into a brush management system.

Recently, Mr. Cadenhead has been concentrating his brush management efforts on the repeated use of weed herbicides for continued range weed control with the "extra" benefit of constant brush suppression.
