Distribution of Agricultural Research Sites by State as Part of the Transforming Drainage Project
Source: Managing Water for Increased Resiliency of Drained Agricultural Landscapes (Transforming Drainage) Project funded by the USDA (CSV).
- Iowa and Ohio lead in hosting research sites, with 9 sites each under the Transforming Drainage Project.
- Minnesota closely follows Iowa and Ohio, hosting 9 agricultural research sites as well.
- Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, and South Dakota collectively host 10 research sites, indicating a lower concentration in these states.
- The data presents a snapshot of research site distribution connected to a specific agricultural project, reflecting regional research priorities or partnerships.
- It's important to note that the data only shows the number of sites per state and does not account for the size or capacity of each site.
- The concentration of research sites in the upper Midwest indicates a focus on agricultural issues pertinent to the region's climate and soil conditions.
