Pregnancy education and resources in Springfield, Tennessee

The Highland Rim Research and Education Center, located at 3181 Experiment Station Road in Springfield, Tennessee, is a leading institution in agricultural research and education. Known for its contributions to the development of widely grown tobacco varieties, the center continues to focus on innovative projects such as trickle irrigation and nitrogen management in dark-fired and burley tobacco. The region's unique environment and soil properties result in the production of unparalleled dark tobacco. In addition to tobacco research, the center is actively involved in beef cattle studies, including investigations into the effects of poor nutritional management on pregnancy establishment in mature cows. Other areas of research include the impact of endophyte-infected tall fescue on male reproductive function, steer development, and grass sustainability. Collaborative experiments on creep feeding variations in beef calves are also being conducted.
