CRAWFORDSVILLE, Iowa — The Southeast Iowa Agricultural Research Association invited farmers and farm businesses to celebrate its Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm's 35th anniversary on Thursday, Sept. 8.
Farmers from 21 counties founded the research association in 1983 to collaborate with Iowa State on locally relevant research for southeast Iowa.
Anyone can become a member of the association, and by doing so, you will receive notice of meetings and events and contribute to the continuing support of agricultural research in southeast Iowa.
During the celebration, there also will be an open house and ribbon cutting for their new Research and Learning Center building.
