## Resource

A century of innovation blooms at the University of Idaho’s Parma Research and Extension Center, born from a 1925 alfalfa weevil crisis and now spanning 230 acres. Celebrating its 100th year, the center continues to bridge science and farming, tackling climate change, soil health, and crop improvement — all while empowering farmers with cutting-edge solutions. With state leaders praising its vital role in global food competitiveness and director Chris Caron pushing for full staffing, this historic hub proves that research and real-world farming can—and must—work hand-in-hand for the next 100 years.
