The Shafter Research and Extension Center (SREC) is the University of California’s principal field research facility for cotton and serves as a good example of cooperation between the University of California (UC), federal and local government, and the cotton industry in the San Joaquin Valley. The University and the USDA provide scientists for the center; Kern County provides the land and facilities; and the cotton industry provides the funding for operations and support for cotton research. Shafter is one of nine Research and Extension Centers operated by the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR). ANR is a unit of the University that is administratively separate from the UC campuses. Many researchers who use this Center hold faculty appointments at UC Davis or UC Riverside or are Cooperative Extension advisors located in counties.
