 | At left is an aerial view of the station facilities and part of the farm land used for seed increase. On the right side are pollination cages used to contain the insect pollinators. The cages prevent the insects from cross pollinating the many accessions grown for a crop in one year. The North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station specializes in increasing seed of crops that require cross pollination while maintaining accession purity. |
