Building the future of agricultural research 🤠
The Oklahoma Legislature has approved $40 million in state funding to create the Agronomy Discovery Center at Oklahoma State University.
This comprehensive modernization will enhance #okstate’s agronomy research enterprise — from its world-renowned wheat breeding program to its nationally recognized turfgrass science program and broader crop and soil research — and strengthen Oklahoma’s $42 billion agricultural economy.
Investment in the Agronomy Discovery Center, combined with last year’s $250 million appropriation to build a new veterinary teaching hospital, positions OSU for national prominence in agriculture and animal health.
