Local Field Research

Some experiments, such as the cover crops and tomato research, are also conducted on local farms such as Terra Preta in Edinburg, Plantation Produce Farms at Hilltop Garden in Lyford, and Yahweh's All Natural Farm & Garden in Harlingen. We thank these farmers for their active research engagement!
