Production agriculture is constantly changing. The need for farm based research to supply a producer with unbiased information that helps them in their management decisions is at an all time high. To meet this need, Iowa State University Extension, Iowa State Research and Demonstration Farms, and the Northwest Iowa Experimental Association formed a new program in 2005 known as the Northwest Iowa On-Farm Research Project. The result is practical production based research for the farmers of Northwest Iowa conducted by the farmers of Northwest Iowa. The project focus is to conduct on-farm research with NW Iowa producers. The projects are designed to answer crop production questions using randomized, triple replicated studies that will give representative,statistically analyzed data for comparison in a simple, informative, and practical approach.
