Blue Creek Dryland Research Farm
Location: Approximately 15 miles west of Tremonton, UT on east side of Highway 80; turn north Exit 24 for 7 miles on Valley Exit
The Blue Creek Dryland Research Farm was founded in the early 1960s when farmers in Box Elder County purchased 40 acres of farmland and deeded it to the UAES for research. Farmers and agribusinesses purchased 50 additional acres in 1992. Methods to control snowmold are studied at Blue Creek, as are conservation tillage techniques, soil fertility, grass and alfalfa varieties, and smut-resistant wheat varieties. The farm is also home to nurseries for fall wheat and spring grain.
