Dr. Tommy Butts is a Clinical Assistant Professor focused in Site-
Specific Weed Management. He previously was an Associate Professor,
Extension Weed Scientist with the University of Arkansas System
Division of Agriculture from 2018-2024. Tommy originally hails from
southern Wisconsin where he grew up working on and around small
dairy farms. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Agri-Business at
the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Master of Science in Agronomy-
Weed Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ph.D. in
Agronomy-Weed Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Tommy’s research and Extension efforts focus on identifying novel
weed management strategies through diversified methods including
the use of precision agriculture, application technologies, and digital
data in a targeted, site-specific approach. Further emphasis will be
placed on helping to increase herbicide application knowledge, safety,
and effectiveness, while reducing off-target movement, both from
ground-based and aerial (manned and remotely piloted) applications.
His overall goal is to generate research-supported and effective weed
management educational materials to be used by farmers and in the
classroom to aid in battling complex weed problems. Tommy is also
supported by his wife, Liberty, and two (soon to be three!) little kiddos,
Brooker (4) and Brinley (2).
