Just in time for Earth Day, let’s visit a farm. Have you ever wondered what goes on at “The Farm” just north of the University of Arkansas campus? The 725 acre Milo J. Shult Agricultural Research and Extension Center (SAREC) is the main research station for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and involves all Division research disciplines in the areas of animal science, poultry science, food science, insect pests and plant diseases, crops, oil and water resources, biological and agricultural engineering and agri-science and technology.

More than 250 people are employed and work in the many complex areas. Come and hear the faculty and get insights into some novel and very important research being conducted here. Seeing this functioning UA campus farm will help answer all of those questions about what goes on at “The Farm.”

This tour will be conducted inside as well as outside. Participants are asked to dress for the weather.
