Established in 1905 following a request by local farmers, the station's testing of grain sorghum led to the development of the hybrid grain sorghum found today. A Texas Historical Marker recognizes the station and the work of J Roy Quinby. Visitors here find research plot equipment and other office equipment used in the testing programs. Open weekdays during business hours.
