North Georgia hub fueling agricultural research at UGA
mitchell-david-s
Research in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) runs the gamut—from plants, animals and dairy science, and crop and soil sciences to entomology, food science and technology, and more. It’s an expansive agenda, too broad to be housed on the university’s 760-acre main campus.
For that, CAES turns to its eight off-campus research centers:
- Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center
- Northwest Georgia Research and Education Center
- Phil Campbell Sr. Research and Education Center
- Southeast Georgia Research and Education Center
- Southwest Georgia Research and Education Center
- M. Stripling Irrigation Research Park
- Attapulgus Research and Education Center
- Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center

This harvest season, every one of those gallons costs more than it has at any point on record.
