On-Farm Research Yields Valuable Data for Producers Numbers show that Nebraska farmers are producing more crops on less land, but farmers are still trying to grow more. UNL Extension Educators say that with the help of those producers they can gather data to do just that. Gary Zoubek, UNL Extension Educator in York County, says on-farm research done with producers can be the answer other producers are looking for. More on this topic from KOLN-KGIN 10/11 Nebraska Central News... On-Farm Research Corn growers can take an active role in a new on-farm research project sponsored by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension in partnership with the Nebraska Corn Growers Association. The goal of the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network (NOFRN) is to implement a statewide on-farm research program addressing critical farmer questions. Three corn production research topics will be targeted in 2012: irrigation - water application management; nitrogen management; and corn population study. Growers wanting to learn more about the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network and how to participate should contact Glewen at 402-624-8030 or kglewen1@unl.edu or Gary Zoubek at 402-362-5508 or gzoubek1@unl.edu.
