In today’s agricultural industry, most products are designed to cover a wide spectrum of geographic area, creating more of a “one size fits all” situation. This leaves optimization and experimentation up to each individual producer to determine what works best on their farm. On Farm Trials are services we provide to our farm operation clients with the goal of providing the information needed to optimize their operation. We design and manage the trials and data analysis, and our clients are involved as much or as little as they want to be.
Our On Farm Trials are unbiased, scientific research trials on your land using your agronomic management practices and procedures. We can screen new hybrids, seed treatments, fertilizers—anything someone is trying to sell you. The variety trials consist of every hybrid you are planting or wish to investigate, typically including local and regional brands as well as the more commonly known national brands. Trials for fertilizers, seed treatments, and other products are similarly tested in randomized research trials. We analyze the data from every plot for each product and compare the yield and the quality characteristics important to you. This data will give you the knowledge to make better-informed decisions about the products with which you would like to move forward on your farm.
