The USDA-ARS Southeast Area’s (SEA) number one priority is the safety and health of our personnel, including all other occupants housed at our SEA Locations. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be a very dynamic concern, therefore, at the present time, we are restricting visitors to and meetings at the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station (SHRS) to strictly essential purposes and emergencies. Thank you.
