Agronomy research in alfalfa and cotton also is conducted at the facility. Greenhouse production of forest seedlings and cut flowers are also part of the program. Both furrow and drip irrigation are available for teaching and research activities. They are used to screen new plant material and to teach landscape, ornamental design, and maintenance classes. The farm employs a full-time staff and many students.
Students work in varied levels of operations, from farm labor to technical level positions.
Graduate students use the farm to conduct their research. The Cooperative Extension Service uses the facilities to conduct short courses in different horticultural activities.
