The North Central and Northeast Iowa Farmer Assisted Research and Management (FARM) project is in its first year of conducting on-farm research in area farmer cooperator fields. FARM is an expansion of Northwest Iowa On-Farm Research with locations in Northwest, West Central, Central, Southwest, and Southeast, Iowa. These are field scale, replicated, and randomized trials. Trial ideas come from farmer cooperators, field and campus specialists, as well as agribusinesses. The FARM project was established to help farmers answer crop production questions and better manage their fields.
