The University of Wyoming’s Sheridan Research and Extension Center has been actively engaged in agricultural research in northeast Wyoming for more than 100 years. Join Director Brian Mealor to hear about why this is an important institution in Sheridan County. He will discuss the founding and historic activities on the ‘experiment farm,’ highlight how some of the early work is in alignment with current agriculture and natural resources research today and the beginning partnerships with local stakeholders.
