Outreach

Scientists at ARS are actively involved in extension and outreach activities in order to disseminate the information and knowledge gained through their research. Faculty researchers host field days throughout the year around such topics as raising small ruminants for meat, lambing on pasture, and producing and marketing hops.

Faculty are involved in demonstration projects in farmers’ fields, showing production practices for specialty crops. ARS welcomes stakeholders who want to learn about on-going research projects, who are interested in collaborating with faculty, or who need help in their enterprises. Food Safety faculty have provided safety training and/or certification at local, national, and international workshops.
