ABOUT OUR CENTER
Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center was formed in 1994 when the Southern Oregon Experiment Station was combined with the Jackson County Extension Service.
As an important partner to the Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center, Jackson County provides the land, builldings, building maintenance, office supplies and clerical support for the county extension agents, scientists and research assistants located at the facility. The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, supports state and local projects with grants and pays a portion of the statewide program and faculty costs. Other grants and research contracts also support the varied extension and research programs.
FACULTY & STAFF Our faculty and staff help thousands of Jackson County residents find answers and solve problems every year. Ten faculty and two support staff members work in the Extension Unit. Two scientists, working in entomolgy, plant pathology and horticulture, are located in the Research Unit.
