What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

South West China University Student Tour

August 20, 2018 by Marilyn Odneal

The South West China University students toured the State Fruit Experiment Station this morning. Thirty-seven people were in the group who were first greeted by Dr. Hwang and then introduced to faculty and staff. They then toured the field on hay wagons, visited the greenhouses and the went through the winery and distillery. We were successful dodging the raindrops!
