The
Teaching and Research (T/R)
Farm at Morrisville State College is located in close
proximity to campus. The students who take soil
and crop science classes use this farm as an
outdoor laboratory. At the farm, they have
the opportunity to apply the knowledge they gain
in their classes. In addition, the students
pursue research projects at the farm, interpret
their data, and present their results at the
annual meeting of the College's Agronomy Club. |

| The
T/R Farm includes a gamagrass project where students are
evaluating the effect of various crop covers on
protecting gamagrass against freeze and thaw that
damages this grass. It is a cooperative
project between the USDA Natural Resource
Conservation Service and Morrisville State College. The
principal investigator of this project is Dr. Paul Salon
from the USDA's Big Flat Plant Material Center in
Corning New York. Two additional projects are
being conducted by researchers from Cornell
University. The first project entails trials on corn
hybrids, conducted by Dr. William Purdy, while the
second is on alfalfa by Dr.
Julie Hanson. |
