The Expo is free and open to the public. 

About the Fisher Delta REEC

The Fisher Delta Research, Extension, and Education Center was established in 1959 in Portageville, Mo., to provide research and educational programs unique to the Southeast Delta Region of the state and to function as a Center for University programs, educational meetings, workshops, short courses, 4-H training and field days.

The FD-REEC facilities include 1,119 acres of land at five locations representing the major soil types of the region. Research studies are designed to improve production of crops that are of major importance to the region; namely soybeans, cotton, rice, grain sorghum, wheat, peanuts and possible new crops that could economically benefit the area.

In 2011, the Center was renamed in honor of T.E. “Jake” Fisher, long-time superintendent.
