UD experts help farmers navigate a complex global market for agriculture
As planting season begins for Delaware's farmers, they face a myriad of risks, natural and human-made hurdles, which make their livelihoods uncertain. Imagine going to work faithfully and not knowing whether you will get paid for your effort. Well, that is what American farmers face every day.
To a favorable degree, these risks are mitigated in Delaware by experts from the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, who conduct research and trials to identify the best crop varieties and cultural practices that reduce these challenges.
Delaware Cooperative Extension agents and specialists communicate UD's research to farmers and growers so they can make informed decisions and create a reliable roadmap for success.
