🌱 On-site research is a game-changer for agricultural producers.

Logan Minter, an Extension field specialist for specialty crops, has initiated a research effort named ePLUS (produce, landscape, urban, and specialty crops). This initiative aims to amplify the volume of research information generated from real-life farming scenarios.

If you’re a grower interested in participating in ePLUS, visit https://bit.ly/3Q2mcti for more details. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to and benefit from cutting-edge agricultural research. Let’s grow together!
