At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Faculty and Students from UniCesumar University, Maringá Brazil Visit Fruit Station

May 4, 2022 by Jennifer Morganthaler

Faculty and students from UniCesumar, a private university in Maringá, Brazil visited the Fruit Station today.  The students and faculty come to Missouri State for a short study away program in which they have classes and tour companies and operations across the entire state.  Missouri State students and faculty typically travel to Brazil for a similar experience.  This is a great learning opportunity for all involved. It has been great returning back to these type of educational programs after being unable to during the highly restrictive COVID times.

Dr. Chin-Feng Hwang, Department Head of Environmental Plant Science and Natural Resources welcomed the students. After introductions Jennifer gave a short  presentation on The Fruit Experiment Station. Jeremy and Shelia provided the group the opportunity to taste some of the wines produced at the station and a tour of the winery and distillery.  Randy, Tom, Shelia and Susanne then lead the group on a tour of the greenhouses and a wagon ride tour of the research fields including a stop at the small fruit planting, genomics vineyard and the high tunnel. The group wrapped up with a stop in Shepard Hall to visit the sales floor to purchase some wine and products to enjoy and some to take back home.
