SWMREC Annual
Report
Because the mission of the Southwest Michigan Research and
Extension Center is to serve the needs of Michigan agriculture, the
ultimate value of projects performed at SWMREC depends upon sharing
results with Michigan growers. However, it's often true that one
year of research data don't provide adequate information for
commercial agriculture to make decisions. This is why some
scientists are reluctant to share one year's data -- the fear that
it will be misinterpreted and might mislead someone. But there is
also a risk in waiting to share data. The SWMREC annual report is
intended to be a compromise between these two timetables for
sharing data. The annual report is presented for informational
puroses only. Unless explicity stated, information in the report
does not imply endorsement or recommendation of products.
