On-farm Testing

The service that differentiates CropPro the most from other advisors is our on-farm testing program.

Like others we invest a lot of time attending conferences, reading publications, and other professional development opportunites in order to keep our knowledge current. Unlike others, we put our best advice in writing and then implement trials to confirm or revoke our ability to predict correctly.

The end result is an amazing ability to fine-tune recommendations to target profit consistently.

Working with Quality and Quantity

Most small plot research programs are designed to meet a very high quality standard. These randomized and replicated trials are the best way to go if you want to test a concept with a high level of accuracy. The weakness is usually a function of cost and time. The small plot equipment, expertise, and time to perform this type of work doesn't come cheap.

The advantage of on-farm testing is that a lot of data can be collected at a very low cost. Trials can be performed in every field on your farm if you desire. Another advantage is that solutions to production issues can be tested right where they will eventually be implemented. Often the solution to a problem is found by a research trial somewhere else, but are those results really transplantable to your fields?

CropPro initiates research on fertility and pesticides, as well as other strategies and innovative ways to do things. Explore the quick links on the right to learn more about how we accomplish these goals.

On-farm trials can provide quality results in many fields if designed and conducted properly.
