Local businesses are sponsoring a barbecue dinner. No reservations are required. A highlight of ongoing research at the center is a tour of irrigated pasture studies using alfalfa, grass and alfalfa-grass mixtures, said Rex Kirksey, center superintendent. We want to find ways of maintaining or increasing pasture production with limited purchased inputs. Another research stop will show researcher Leonard Lauriault's work evaluating production of forage grasses and legumes under differing soil and management constraints.
Visitors also can see traditional and non-traditional row crop trials.
If you are an individual with a disability who is in need of an auxiliary aid or service to participate in these meetings, please call the contact person for the event two weeks in advance.
