The Northwestern Agricultural Research Center is one of seven off-campus research centers in the Department of Research Centers. The NWARC consists of 200 irrigated and dryland acres and is well-equipped with modern field plot equipment, laboratory equipment, facilities and greenhouse space. The research center is located 10 miles from Flathead Lake, the largest fresh water lake in the western U.S., and 45 miles from Glacier National Park.
Scientists and staff at NWARC are actively involved with local agriculture and enjoy interactions with area farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness people. They also work with the MSU Cooperative Extension Service to serve the widely-varied agricultural needs of our immediate area and Northwestern Montana.
Mission
The mission of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and its Research Centers is to conduct and promote studies, scientific investigations, and experiments relating to agriculture, natural resources and rural life and to diffuse information thereby acquired among the people of Montana; to identify solutions to problems and provide input on issues that impact the agricultural industry. The goal of the MAES is to conduct research that will maintain the vitality of Montana’s agricultural industry.
