You aren’t seeing double – this Zoom was rescheduled from April.

Sit back and enjoy virtually touring the world’s largest, most comprehensive agricultural research center on ~ 7,000 acres in Beltsville, Maryland – also home to the world’s largest National Agricultural Library.  Jay Green will be your pilot and guide for this 1-hour informative, educational and engaging virtual experience via a virtual flying green bus.   

The mission of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center is to provide the American public with an exceptionally talented, highly interdisciplinary scientific community in the USDA’s largest scientific installation, and leverage these resources to envision, create, and improve knowledge and technologies that enhance the capacity of the nation – and the world – to provide its people with healthy crops and animals; clean and renewable natural resources; sustainable agricultural systems; and agricultural commodities and products that are abundant, high-quality, and safe.
