He was best known for groundbreaking research in butter spoilage, cheese production, and pioneering work on freeze-drying of cultures.

He represented the United States at International Dairy Congresses in Stockholm (1911), London (1928) and Rome (1934). Dr. Rogers was the author or co­author of nearly 100 scientific papers.

He was the first recipient of the Borden Award in Dairy Manufacturing (1937) and received the Distinguished Service Award from American Dairy Science Association (1963). Proud of his hometown and heritage, he was the co-founder and curator of the Lumberman's Museum in Patten, Maine, and recipient of Maine Commission on the Arts and Humanities Achievement Award (1968) and legislative citation from the Maine House of Representatives and Senate (1973).
