Abstract

The system of Outlying Research Centers described in this booklet developed and grew in response to the needs of Iowa formers. The centers form a vital part of the research program at the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station. They provide a direct link between formers throughout the state and the Station's ongoing research efforts. The centers ore strategically located in several of Iowa's major soil association and climatic areas. This permits scientists to conduct field experiments under various agroclimatic conditions existing in the state. Field days, demonstration plots, and experimental facilities at the centers give producers an opportunity to see research in action under conditions similar to those on their own forms.
