Field Day 2023! Join us and other collaborators on August 15th beginning at 8am. Tours of our facilities and current research projects will be presented throughout the day!
 Welcome to the USDA-ARS Lubbock! We house 4 different units at this location. Plant Stress and Germplasm Development Wind Erosion and Water Conservation Cotton Production and Processing Livestock Issues Research
 The Plant Stress and Germplasm Research Development unit is dedicated to research regarding thermal and water stress on plants and developing germplasm to reduce the impact of these on crop production.
 The Wind Erosion and Water Conservation research unit focuses on applied and fundamental research regarding the effects of wind-induced soil erosion, interactions between plants and soil environments and much more.
 CPPRU (Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit) houses research to develop value-added processes for agricultural byproducts as well as improve harvesting and ginning of cotton.
 The Livestock Issues Research Unit conducts fundamental research to determine how stress affects the physiological and behavioral responses of livestock and stress-induced alterations in immune responses relate to pre-harvest food safety.
