Over the years, a "research triangle" has developed between UMM, WCROC, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service - North Central Soil Conservation Research Lab (USDA-ARS-NCSCRL). The research triangle partners, with assitance from many other partnerships, are working hard to make Morris a destination for the people of the state of Minnesota, our region, and the world who want to learn more about a future that will be less dependent on foreign sources of energy.
A large number of agriculture producers, citizens, and University of Minnesota faculty are also key partners in the Renewable Energy Research and Demonstration Center at Morris.
