About
The Cache Junction Farm is the site of crop production to feed our research animals. Crops include alfalfa and grass hay, corn and grasses for silage, and wheat. Some research is also conducted here.
Research Topics
Research underway at the Cache Junction Farm includes entomology studies of cereal leaf beetle and other pests, weed control experiments and barley variety trials. USDA Agricultural Research Service scientists are also using space at the farm for bee research and alfalfa trials. Research is also taking place above the farm as water engineers test methods of aerial mapping and ground imaging and the USU-affiliated Space Dynamics Laboratory operates a ground-based LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) instrument to study the atmosphere.
