| >> Washington State University's Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center, or IAREC, is a hub of discovery that makes an outsized impact on agricultural resiliency. | Aerial view of the campus with rows of green crops in fields and several long low warehouse style buildings. An entrance sign reads: Established 1919. Washington State University Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center. H. P. Singleton Headquarters. United States Department of Agriculture and Washington State Department of Agriculture Cooperating. A drone is flown over crops. A person observes closely as he guides a robotic arm to pick an apple from a tree. |
| Irrigated crops are keystone commodities for Washington's prosperity. | Then, images of various crops. |
| Located at Prosser, Washington, IAREC partners with growers, communities, and State and federal agencies to solve complex challenges facing our irrigation powered agricultural economy. | Video footage of crops being watered through various irrigation methods. In a lab, black lights glow purple on a shelf. Then, people operate machines in fields and labs. |
| Through research, education, and public service in automation, soil health, pest and disease management, food safety, orchard and vineyard efficiency, and many other ag-related fields, we build a future workforce and save hundreds of dollars per acre in conserved resources and higher yields. | Video montage of high-tech labs, orchard field days, precision agriculture technologies, and people working in these locations. |
| We have made outstanding contributions to Washington agriculture during the past one hundred years. | A black and white photo of a man standing next to a sign reading Irrigation Experiment Station. State College of Washington in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Then, other black and white photos of men working in the fields; stringing wire for vining plants, using shovels to dig holes for trees, and using tractor driven machinery. |
| From driving the growth of the State wine industry to breeding the original Rainier cherry, we've always been committed to improving our State's agricultural competitiveness globally. | Photos of wine bottles. Color images of bright, plump grapes and cherries. People working with modern day agricultural machinery. |
| Join us and help IAREC's impacts continue for another century and beyond. [Music] | View of a white water tower with the Washington State University logo on the side in red. On screen text: Washington State University. Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center. |
