Upper Peninsula Experiment Station
Located in Chatham, the U.P. Experiment Station is the hub of beef and dairy cattle research for northern Michigan. Research on feed quality and intake provides beef and dairy farmers recommendations on management practices to increase production efficiency. Alternative management practices, such as intensive grazing, are being studied to determine if they can reduce input costs for farmers. Complementary agronomic studies at the 1,262-acre site focus on forages, barley and oat production, and on alternative crops such as canola and lupine beans. The Upper Peninsula Experiment Station is part of a national network studying the effect of climate on soil carbon sequestration.
