The University of Rhode Island Vegetable \u200bProduction \u200bProgram \u200b\u200baddresses the needs of all vegetable producers\u200b in Rhode Island and surrounding communities\u200b. Whether \u200bit’s a one quarter acre \u200boperation \u200bor 400 acres, \u200bURI provides the most current \u200bscience-based \u200binformation in sustainable and profitable crop production practices\u200b to growers through site visits, newsletters, on-farm workshops and more. Our work spans research and Extension, with applied research conducted at the Gardner Crops Research Center (affectionately known as \u200bthe \u200bURI \u200bAgronomy Farm)\u200b that is then translated for practical application through Cooperative Extension\u200b workshops and events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
