University of Idaho officials are optimistic about their plans to build the nation’s largest research dairy.

Idaho’s Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, or CAFÉ says the new center would help support the growth of dairy and other industries.

University President Scott Green told the Idaho Land Board the campus will be a leader (for) water usage and environmental quality challenges while supporting the continued growth of the dairy, livestock, cropland, and food processing industries.
