7/16/21 – Our team is very busy in mid-July with research projects scattered across the state from as far west as Waynesville to as far east as Pittsboro. Here are a few of the beautiful photos our staff have shared from the past two weeks that show off our work and the beauty of the places and plants we work with.

Last week Margaret visited the fiber hemp variety trials that Dr. Suchoff is conducting at the Piedmont Research Station. Think ours in the mountains will catch up to these?
