Researchers Jim Fedders (Ecologist, AFSRC) and Ozzie Abaye (Associate Professor, Alternative Crops, Dept. of Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences, Virginia Tech) evaluate progress for test plots of Teff grass (Eragrostis tef). Cooperative interests in this grass as potential forage for Appalachia are being investigated at various test sites. These plots are currently planted in eastern Raleigh County, West Virginia.
