USDA’s Agricultural Research Service is celebrating a century of sugarbeet research in Michigan.
USDA-ARS plant pathologist and Michigan State University professor Dr. Linda Hanson tells Brownfield she discovered decades of research documents in the basement of MSU’s greenhouses that mark the historic partnership.
“We were looking through some old records and found a letter that talked about USDA moving their research station in Michigan to collaborate with, then Michigan Agricultural College in 1923,” she shares.
