WVU Organic Research Project
The WVU Organic Research Project field day was a resounding success. About 100 participants and 25 staff members enjoyed presentations from the principal investigators on a variety of experiments currently underway on the farm. Wagon tours provided a complete view of the 60 acre complex and at each stop the public was treated to a discussion of the major experiments being conducted. After the wagon tour a delicious dinner was served and small groups informally discussed aspects of organic production. Below are a selection of pictures from the field day.
