Regional, focused agriculture research
Where fascinating information is a requirement and fun is a rule
We change the way people farm.
Our primary focus is applied research that helps southern Alberta crop producers make informed choices around inputs, technology and management practices for their operations. The goal is to sustain our land, water, soil and farmers for the benefit of everyone.
We Study. We Teach. We Challenge.
Our secondary focus is making sure southern Alberta crop producers know about the options open to them through every means possible. This website, public events, printed and digital media products all contribute to our extension efforts.
