Potatoes, beans, foundation seed,
water quality and management

The Kimberly Research and Extension Center is located northeast of Kimberly about six miles east of Twin Falls.  The center has approximately 180 acres of irrigated farm, four greenhouses, a dry bean research facility complete with laboratories, a seed cleaning complex, seed warehouse, and a potato storage research facility. The site also provides field and greenhouse facilities to various extension faculty located at the Twin Falls R&E Center and the Aberdeen R&E Center.  We also share facilities and resources with the USDA Agricultural Research Service Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory.  Some offices and laboratories are located in the USDA-ARS facility across the road from the farm, while others are now housed in our Dry Bean Research Facility.

We invite you to visit our facilities if you are in the area.  We are located at mile post 1, State Highway 50. If you are traveling Interstate I-84, take exit 182 and turn south -- you can't miss us.  While you are in the area, you may want to visit Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls (falls); these sites are within 5 minutes of the center.
