About HARC
HARC, near New Franklin, sits at the interface of the loess hills and Missouri River bottom
and provides a scenic, historic and scientific setting for development of horticultural- and
agroforestry-related studies. Interdisciplinary cooperation allows researchers from multiple
disciplines, including entomology, plant pathology, horticulture, agronomy, animal science
and agroforestry, to combine research efforts to address an array of issues. Integrated
studies of crop, livestock and forestry practices are occurring, as is the development of
superior lines for timber, nut meat and specialty fruit production. The Flood Tolerance
Laboratory and Drought Simulator are located there.
