Abstract:
Begun as Blackland Test Farm in Wenona, NC in 1912, the research facility moved east of Plymouth, NC in 1943 and was renamed The Tidewater Research Station. The complex is run by the NC Department of Agriculture and NC State University which studies how crops perform in eastern North Carolina conditions. They test fertilizers, pest control, weed control, soil hydrology, climate change, and many other aspects of agriculture.
