The Cambridge Research Station comprises 108 hectares of sandy loam soil with irrigation facilities for all plot areas. The station is well suited to research programs requiring stress testing, fertility studies and breeding programs where an 'early start' to the growing season and the control of soil moisture levels is critical . This multi-use facility accommodates users from crop science, horticulture, environmental biology, industry and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
Research evaluates methods of production, with an emphasis on crop quality and cost efficiency.
The Cambridge Research Station is located southwest of the Guelph campus.
