Feb. 25-26 On-Farm Research Mtgs.

Farm operators and agronomists from across the state will obtain valuable crop production-related information from on-farm research projects conducted on Nebraska farms by Nebraska farmers in partnership with University of Nebraska faculty. These research projects cover products, practices, and new technologies that impact farm productivity and profitability.

The Nebraska On-Farm Research Network is a statewide, on-farm research program that addresses critical farmer production, profitability and natural resources questions. Growers take an active role in the onfarm research project sponsored by Nebraska Extension in with the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, the Nebraska Corn Board, the Nebraska Soybean Checkoff, and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission.

The February programs will provide an opportunity to hear growers who conducted on-farm research share their results from the 2020 growing season. Field length replicated treatment comparisons were completed in growers’ fields, using their equipment. On February 25th, in-person meetings will be held at Auburn, Beatrice, and Wahoo in southeast Nebraska. On February 26th in-person meetings in southeast Nebraska will be held in Nebraska City, Seward and Wilber.
