The field day kicks off with registration and refreshments at 8 a.m., followed by a welcome address by Abdel Mesbah, superintendent at the science center. Steve Loring, associate director of the NMSU Agricultural Experiment Station, will then provide an update on the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.

Mesbah said the field day is about sharing research outcomes to benefit the farming community.

“The purpose of this free event is to bring producers and researchers together to visit and interact with each other and share ideas and opinions about different cultural practices,” Mesbah said. “This is the perfect opportunity for producers to ask questions and get answers in a one-on-one setting.”
