Welcome
To serve people in all parts of Indiana, Purdue operates eight regional
Purdue Agricultural
Centers (PACs).
Indiana has over 400 soil types and multiple microclimates. Each section
of farmland reacts differently to fertilizers, cultural practices, pesticides,
and tillage systems. Each parcel of forest reacts differently to different
management practices. So Purdue's PACs are located where they can do
the most good (State
Map of PACs).
At
the PACs, researchers and Extension educators help identify and solve
production problems, take risks that eventually will benefit farmers,
and explain and demonstrate the results of sophisticated research.
The
Director of Purdue Agricultural Centers, Jerry
Fankhauser, and the ARP staff,
administer and coordinate projects at the regional centers, which are
used by researchers from all agricultural disciplines.
