The hop pest management program is directed by Dr. Jim Barbour, with the assistance of one full-time employee, Joyce Ashcraft. The program currently has one graduate student, Mary Gardiner. The program is assisted by a number of the station farm crew and by seasonal workers-largely high school students from the nearby communities of Parma and Wilder.
