Located near Warsaw in Virginia's coastal plain, the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research and Extension Center serves Virginia’s grain and soybean industries through research and educational programs leading to improved varieties and crop management practices.

Here are these two Virginia were dedicated to serving Virginia's drains worthy industries through research and educational programs that improve righty development. We develop new lands of soybeans, wheat and barley. And we also do research on crop production that enable growers to improve their bottom line. Barlow case, you'd hear these using a rake ingenious post. The point makes it ideal for grain and soy bean work. Where the whole base or the small gray breeding program and the soybean breeding program. Small grains consist of wheat and barley, core soybeans as well. The variety development of breeding research that we do here at the center leads us to develop new breeding lines and variety with improve disease resistance, pest resistant stress tolerance, and also generates higher yields. Our also affiliated with the new Center for Advanced Innovation and Agriculture at Virginia Tech. And primarily through that new said, if we have two goals, we're trying to use new technologies to improve our data collection in the field and to, to help us make decisions throughout the growing season. So we can make recommendations to growers or how they might use this new technology. Our vision for the surging a reg used to have a center that is recognized for excellence in variety development, reading a new varieties in dissemination of information to our growers, the stakeholders in the air.
