Research
The corn agronomy lab strives to promote economically and environmentally sustainable corn production.
Our research addresses agronomic concerns such as weather challenges, the resurgence of secondary pests, and the invasion of non-native species.
Extension
We are invested in conducting large-scale on-farm research to get the most recent and updated hybrid evaluation data to the growers.
Additionally, we aim to evaluate novel concepts such as short-corn and to address management, adaptability, and quality challenges for growers.
