Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research & Extension Center

In addition to a nice soaking rain this morning, we hosted a group of agronomists and chemical dealers this morning. Great discussions around Virginia and Argentina crop production!

In addition to headrow harvest at the research station, we are harvesting an on-farm trial in King William County. This test examines the effect on planting date on spring freeze. This location had quite a bit of spring freeze this season so the results will definitely be interesting.

Wheat headrow harvest! 🌾

Check out the progress on our driveway and parking area paving project at the center! 🚧🚧

Put in our first sorghum plot in about 10 years today. There is renewed sorghum interest in our area due to new local markets. Thanks to extension agents Turner Minx and Robbie Longest for taking the lead on these variety trials.

It’s Virginia Agriculture Week and wheat harvest is in full effect at EVAREC! This is a good reminder that plant breeding and agronomic research is vital for global food security. Agriculture is the #1 industry in the Commonwealth of Virginia!
