Lindcove Research & Extension Center, located in the foothills of Tulare County, has land and facilities available for 2011/2012 research projects.
Projects are reviewed and approved by a Research Advisory Committee. While LREC is primarily a citrus research center, other crops are welcome. Resources include:
- 3.0 acres (Field 31)
- 2.5 acres (Field 64E)
- 0.9 acres (Field 91C)
- Three Valencia strains on 2 rootstocks (Field 11), 2 acres, planted 1993
