DAFVM Spotlight Employee: Marion Williams
Marion Williams
The Delta Research and Extension Center depends on Marion Williams to manage maintenance equipment, which allows the field work to be completed on time.
Williams assists in the field work that supports the research at the Stoneville center. He disks the fields and subsoils, sprays the tractors, drives the center’s 18 wheeler and cotton picker, and welds.
Williams says that his favorite part of his job is being able to work outside.
“I was raised on a farm. I have been driving tractors and combines since the age of 10, and I am now 39,” Williams said. “I also love helping everyone because there is not an (I) in the word (team).”
When Williams is not working, he enjoys collecting old tractors with his father. He plans to work with the Delta Research and Extension Center until his 50th year of employment.
Williams has been married for 12 years to his wife Shirley. He also has twin daughters, who are both currently attending college. One of his daughters hopes to become a teacher and the other one wants to become a missionary.
