Spring is in high gear with local farmers busy planting their crops.
These on-farm demonstrations are an integral part of what the AgCenter does. Plots like these get the different varities developed by the AgCenter experiment station into "the real world." The AgCenter will plant a test plot to evaluate the varities as to how they may respond in full production fields.
