Noble research and demonstration farms and ranches host three Mesonet sites, which help producers across the state adjust to fluctuating climate pressures.

Elison Blancaflor, Ph.D., who leads the Noble Research Institute Plant Cell Biology Laboratory, has sent plants into orbit twice thanks to NASA grants. Now he gets the opportunity to study plants in space-like conditions on Earth. Learning about how plants put down roots on Earth and in space will address great agricultural challenges by positively impacting soil health and improving the crop’s efficiency in acquiring resources it needs to grow.
