Artesia Science Center Property
The soil type and environment are unique to the three counties that the Artesia Science Center primarily serves. This area, along with the area served by the Clovis ASC, produces about two-thirds of the agricultural gross receipts. The work at Clovis complements the work at Artesia, but cannot replace it because of differences in environment, soils, and crops. Artesia was established in 1955. This ASC operates on about 157 acres, which is leased from the Southeastern New Mexico Agricultural Research Association. This ASC is located in Artesia, NM in Eddy County.
