The PMC provides an excellent location in the Gulf Prairies and Marshes for evaluation of plant material. The PMC is located in Kleberg County near Kingsville, Texas, and has representative clay and sandy loam soil types for evaluation of plant material. PMC staff provides much needed assistance and cooperative evaluation of plant material. The PMC also provides seed cleaning equipment, storage facilities, and a variety of specialized equipment to the project. Personnel that we work closely with include John Lloyd-Reilley (manager), Shelly Maher (Soil conservationist), Albert Quiroga (Research Technician), and George Farek (Research associate).
