Delta Center Farms

The 1,024 acre Delta Research Center consists of four separate farms all named after the donor. Dewitt Clinton Lee farm, Matilda Cavanaugh farm, Margaret Marsh farm and the Roger Rhodes farm. Much of the research conducted at the Delta Center is focused on crop production and management. The University of Missouri's cotton and rice production research is conducted at the Delta Center. Scientists at the Delta Center also conduct research on soybean cropping systems, weed, insect and disease control in all crops and variety evaluations. Scientists at the Delta Center have gained recognition for developing improved soybean varieties, especially those with soybean cyst nematode resistance.
