Field research tours for corn, cotton, soybeans and rice have been held at the Fisher Delta Research Center – where specialists have explained to farmers their latest research developments. It was the 54th Annual Delta Field Day in Portageville, Missouri.

Research at the University of Missouri Center is enhancing crop production, weed management, soil and water improvement and the pollinator population.

Delta Center Field specialist Andrea Jones told us about the Missouri Cotton Variety Trial that’s underway. She says the camaraderie of the Missouri cotton producer is “so great” and she loves working in cotton research because it’s always changing.
