Check out your local USDA Plant Materials Center activities

” Plant Materials Centers publish an annual report to summarize significant Plant Materials related activities within a calendar year.  The report provides information on new plant materials developments, studies and the results of activities or studies.  As a whole, the reports can serve as a gauge of what resource needs are predominant in a particular area of the country and/or provide an illustration of the breadth of activities that occur at Plant Materials Centers.  Further information on individual studies or activities in a report can often be found in links within the report or on the center’s webpage.
