Research & Outreach

The SWROC advances its mission with a keen focus on growing in knowledge, scope and understanding. A close look at the SWROC reveals an abundance of ongoing activities which add value to life in southwestern Minnesota and beyond. Since its beginning, SWROC has been an important part of the landscape in this area and communities. Many aspects of the SWROC have grown and are continuing to expand. As new farming methods are called for, as new challenges arise, as new partnerships are suggested, SWROC eagerly responds with new focus areas to keep pace.
