About Research.jpg thumbnail

The need for research from state agricultural experiment stations is as important now as it has ever been. The constantly expanding world population demands that we increase our food and fiber production. The key to sustaining agricultural production to meet the expanding population is through research to refine existing technologies, develop new technology and advance knowledge. As agricultural research and development meets the challenges of the future, we must be mindful of the environment. All of us want cleaner water and air, sustainable forests, a stable coastline and other outdoor amenities.

The research conducted by experiment station scientists contributes substantially to economic development in our state. For more than 100 years, research at the station has brought forth new, improved varieties, better cultural practices and improved pest control.
