About Miller Research

Miller Research LLC is dedicated to providing scientific research for the improvement of crop production.  Miller Research is operated by Jeff Miller, Trent Taysom, Scott Anderson, and Cheryn Clayton.

Miller Research was started in 1975 by Dr. Terry Miller. Terry is a Ph.D. plant pathologist who resigned from a faculty position at Ohio State University to take over the family farm. Dr. Jeff Miller worked as a plant pathologist at the University of Minnesota and the University of Idaho before joining in 2007.

We conduct residue and efficacy research on pesticides for commercial chemical companies. In addition, we perform contract research for agricultural productions groups such as the Idaho Potato Commission and the Snake River Sugar Association.
On occasion we work with growers and/or private companies to investigate crop damage incidents. We have served as expert witnesses in litigation and insurance claim dispute resolution.

We have conducted cooperative research projects with the University of Idaho, Washington State University, Oregon State University, and the University of Minnesota.

We routinely work with commercial producers to solve real-world crop production problems.

The main crops for our research are Potatoes, Sugar Beets, Small Grains, Dry Beans, and Corn.

We have given presentations at the following meetings:

• University of Idaho Potato Conference
• University of Idaho SugarBeet Conference
• Washington-Oregon Potato Conference
• Far West Agribusiness Association Winter Conference
