A 15-acre research plot was established at Steve Lyles' Farm in the Mesilla Valley. Jim McClendon, owner and developer of the McClendon Pepper Harvester, donated the use of a machine harvester.

The results included information about pepper varieties, plant structure, traits necessary for mechanical harvesting, harvesting efficiency by variety types and financial feasibility and profitability.
