Colorado State University - Western Colorado Research Center
About Us
The Western Colorado Research Center is one of ten research centers that make up Colorado’s Agricultural Experiment Station, the state’s leader in agricultural research and education programs. Since 1888, AES supports Colorado-based agriculture and contributes to food security and health of our growing population in a changing climate.
The WCRC is comprised of three research farms, Orchard Mesa, Grand Valley, and Rogers Mesa. The three sites represent the diversity of climate, crops, and challenges of western Colorado agriculture, including focus on water conservation and efficiency, cold-hardiness, diseases, pests and varieties of grapes and tree fruits, integrated cropping systems, vegetable production, and food security.
