The mission of the Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center is to provide agricultural producers and Extension educators in Virginia and the mid-Atlantic region with applied, research-based information on the soil, animal, and plant components of forage-based livestock systems. We also strive to preserve the historic "McCormick Farm"-- site of the invention of the McCormick grain reaper that started the mechanical revolution in agriculture. It is also our goal to open the center to adults and youth for educational opportunities on McCormick history as well as sustainable agricultural, environmental and wildlife practices.
