About South Farm
Five miles south of the MU campus, South Farm supports the research, outreach and teaching
missions of animal science, plant science, veterinary science, biology, botany and other
disciplines. The Center is the location of several research facilities including the Swine
Research Center, the Beef Research and Teaching Center, the Turfgrass Research Center and
the Equine Teaching Facility. The Center also supports research and demonstration projects
in entomology, poultry and maize genetics. The Missouri Foundation Seed program uses South
Farm to increase the sales of newly developed seed varieties to dealers. Easy access from
campus allows South Farm to be used for hands-on teaching to more than 1,500 students
annually and is the location for numerous graduate student research projects. The Center
hosts a Showcase each fall to share its projects with the general public; it has become a
popular family event, with attendance in the thousands.
