2025 Agronomic Field Crop Tours

Carvel Research and Extension Tours

August 14, 2025

The University of Delaware Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown invited the agriculture community to attend Agronomic, Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Poultry tours on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025

“The depth and diversity of research happening at this facility is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we’re eager to share these efforts with farmers across Delmarva,” said James Adkins, interim director of the Carvel Center. “Whether you grow corn and soybeans, raise poultry, or produce fresh market vegetables, there’s likely a project underway here that speaks directly to your interests.”

“We’re also excited to welcome several exhibitors to this year’s event, bringing back the spirit of our former Farm and Field Day gatherings,” Adkins added.

A longstanding tradition at UD’s Georgetown campus, Carvel’s August tours provide an opportunity for UD Extension researchers and Extension specialists to report their research to farmers, certified crop advisors, agriculture industry professionals, and Cooperative Extension colleagues from neighboring regions. The opportunity to examine field conditions in real time provides agriculture stakeholders with valuable information for planning and managing crops.
