Agricultural researchers in Hood River, Oregon, are holding an event to showcase their work and new lab facility.

The Mid-Columbia Agricultural Research and Extension Center, home to tree fruit science staff from Oregon State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will hold a field day on July 23 to show the agricultural public renovated laboratory space. Staff and faculty, including new director Brian Pearson, also will discuss ongoing projects and show visitors field trials. 

Exact times for the afternoon event are still to be determined, but a dinner will follow, so organizers are asking attendees to RSVP. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/MCAREC-field-day. •
