Extension Research: Soil fertility/crop production, potatoes, onions, alfalfa, cereals. We offer expertise on a wide range of topics to the general public, growers and fieldmen in the area. We also represent agriculture's interests on committees. We provide educational pesticide and CCA licensing opportunities for local growers and fieldmen. Our primary concerns are profitability and environmental sustainability of local cropping systems.
