Officials with the University of Minnesota are optimistic about moving ahead with a state-of-the-art ag teaching and research hub.
Brian Buhr is Dean of the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) and says Mower County is the proposed site for the Future of Advanced Agricultural Research in Minnesota (FAARM) complex.
“As we get that (location) confirmed, that’s kind of go, no-go point. As that moves along, we’re going to move to a predesign stage.”
He tells Brownfield the public-private partnership aims to put Minnesota on the forefront of emerging food and ag research to help transform how food is produced and the how the environment is protected.
