Love was part of a team that won second place in Pesticide Safety Education. Other members of the team include Extension Specialists Dr. Tony Wolf Dr. Douglas Pfeiffer, Dr. Keith Yoder, Dr Rongcai Yuan, Dr. Chris Berg and Dr. Jeffrey Derr, Virginia Tech; along with fruit grower Lynn Graves, Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria; Ken Shaver, Virginia Employment Commission, Charlottesville; and Tommy Williams from the USDA-AMS Recordkeeping Program.

The group of agents and specialists provided ongoing service to specialty growers in their area. In addition to a winter school for tree fruit growers, the group organized a series of 10 fruit production programs at vineyards and orchards throughout the northern Piedmont during the fruit growing season. These meetings gave participants an opportunity to scout the crops at the host site along with Extension specialists and their peers in the grower community. By turning pest management and pesticide safety education into season-long activities these agents and specialists keep in close contact with the needs of their growers and the condition of their crops.
