Tours, field days and events
Tours of the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center are scheduled and directed by center staff. Tours are usually between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Alternative schedules may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis. General field tours are normally 1-1 ½ hours in length and can be scheduled by contacting superintendent of agriculture Chuck Boldwyn at cboldwyn@uckac.edu, (559) 646-6020.
Tours of the specialized facilities (postharvest research, greenhouses, etc.) may be scheduled by contacting specialized facility coordinator Laura Van der Staay at lvdstaay@uckac.edu, (559) 646-6030.
Tour requests should be made at least one week prior to the tour date.
Research sponsored field days, tours, events or group visits require advanced notification and approval by the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center director. We can help you complete the request forms by contacting Chuck Boldwyn at cboldwyn@uckac.edu or Marcia Holms-Baker at mbaker@uckac.edu.
Associated charges will be reviewed during the scheduling process. The KARE administrative office, mbaker@uckac.edu, (559) 646-6000, can also be contacted in the event the superintendent of agriculture or specialized facility coordinator is unavailable for a lengthy period of time.
