We are moving! The PIDC will move to the newly built Advanced Research and Teaching Building (ATRB) here on campus in March, 2018. This new space will allow us increase the quality of service we provide and we are very excited for this change.
Services update:
New forms to come: we have listened to your feedback! We want our form to be simple and easy to use. Stay tuned for new forms available in the clinic website through the extension store.
Did you know we provide rapid serological testing for some plant diseases? For the current list of tests offered and more details please visit our website.
Upcoming presentations and workshops:
Mushrooms: Production vs. Hunting (presentation) at the 2018 Iowa Small Farms Conference. This introductory talk will briefly discuss wild mushroom edibility, safety, and regulations.
