Established in 1905 stemming from a request by local farmers because of a
lack of feed grains available to the region, this station's testing of grain
sorghum led to the development of the hybrid grain sorghum cultivated today. A
Texas historical marker recognizes the station and the work of J. Roy Quinby.
Visitors find research plot equipment and office equipment used in the testing
programs. Open 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Mon.–Fri. 1340 F.M. 392.
