Cartwright also says some of the combines and tractors at the centers are 20 years old.
The Agricultural Experiment Station operates a system of Missouri ag research centers in an effort to meet the regional needs of ag producers and natural resource managers.
It takes research discoveries involving plants, animals and natural resources from the lab to the field.
