| McNeill Unit has
373 acres and is currently being used for beef
cattle and forestry research. In 1991, 30 acres of land was
leased to the USDA Small Fruits Research Station to expand their
planting of blueberries and muscadines. In 1989, approximately
40 acres of pasture land was planted to loblolly pine in a row
spacing that would allow grazing. In 1996, another forestry project
was initiated to evaluate long leaf, loblolly and slash pines
planted at three different row spacing/populations. An additional
20 acres were planted in 1997. A small planting of tung was made
in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate planting methods and weed control
studies. |
