The Alliance meeting is one of a series of meetings across Nebraska, where crop production-related information from over 120 on-farm research projects conducted on Nebraska farms by Nebraska farmers in partnership with University of Nebraska faculty will be shared with producers. These research projects cover products, practices, and new technologies that impact farm productivity and profitability.
Research projects to be discussed will include: dry bean population and variety studies using direct harvest; variable rate seeding; tools for side-dress nitrogen management; precision seed and fertilizer application; starter fertilizer; fungicide applications; row spacing; planting populations; cover crops; seed treatments; project SENSE (crop canopy sensor directed in-season nitrogen application) and more.
Certified Crop Advisor Credits are applied for and pending upon approval.
The Nebraska On-Farm Research Network is a statewide, on-farm research program that addresses critical farmer questions about production, profitability and natural resources. Growers take an active role in the on-farm research project sponsored by Nebraska Extension in partnership with the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, the Nebraska Corn Board, the Nebraska Soybean Checkoff, and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission.
