Powell Research and Extension Center

Powell Research and Extension Center The Powell R&E Center advances agriculture through research, education, and outreach in NW Wyoming.

From crop production and soil health to irrigation and variety trials, we provide research-based solutions for producers and communities across the region. The Powell Research and Extension Center (PREC) is one mile north of Powell on Highway 295 at an elevation of 4,374 feet. Employees at PREC include one faculty researcher, a research associate II, a farm manager, two assistant farm managers, and an office associate. PREC personnel conduct research and provide services to benefit the northwestern Wyoming counties of Fremont, Hot Springs, Washakie, Big Horn, and Park--and beyond.
200 of the 220 acres at PREC are irrigated cropland. Research focuses on agronomic weed control, irrigation, cropping systems, high tunnel production, variety performance testing, transgenic variety response to herbicide treatments, and alternative crops. The center participates in numerous regional research and education projects.
