Dixon Springs center to be streamlined by UI plan
The University of Illinois will not close the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center in Pope County but will shrink land use from about 5 000 acres to 500 under a streamlining plan. The center, Illinois' largest agronomic research site outside Urbana, will continue research in veterinary medicine, animal science, horticulture, and agronomy at a smaller scale, potentially with satellite stations across Southern Illinois.
