2010 Dean Lee Field Day
8/5/2010  8:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Dean Lee Research and Extension Center, 8105 Tom Bowman Drive, Alexandria, Louisiana 71302

The LSU AgCenter Dean Lee Field Day will be held Aug. 5 with field tours starting at 9 a.m. Experts will give overviews on their work with corn, cotton, soybeans and cattle. The event in years past had been held in the afternoon. “This year we decided to alter the schedule to avoid the heat of the day,” said Allen Nipper, director of the LSU AgCenter’s Central Region. “This will allow for a more comfortable event and give participants more time with researchers after the tour.” The Dean Lee Research Station is adjacent to the LSU-Alexandria campus on U.S. Highway 71 south of Alexandria. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the DeWitt Livestock Facility followed by a field tour.
