Rex E. Kirksey Agricultural Science Center at Tucumcari

2019 Annual Report

Since 1912, New Mexico State University's Rex E. Kirksey Agricultural Science Center at Tucumcari has existed to discover, develop, and deliver information about globally applicable innovative solutions for crop and livestock systems in irrigated and dryland agriculture with specific application locally and throughout New Mexico to meet NMSU's College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences Pillars for Economic and Community Development. To that end, research programs focus on semiarid cropping systems, irrigated forage crops and grazing management, genetic improvement of beef cattle through feed efficiency testing, and reuse of treated municipal wastewater for agricultural irrigation.
