The University of Illinois is home to the world's oldest crop rotation study and a piece of living history - the Morrow Plots. For 150 years, these experimental plots in the middle of campus have helped scientists and farmers better understand long-term farming and soil maintenance. Come experience the history of this world famous experiment through rarely seen photos and records documenting the Morrow Plots' central role in agricultural science and campus culture. And while you're there, be sure to pick up a Morrow Plots zine.
