Curious how different products, practices or management strategies performed on farms like yours last season? Nebraska farmers and agronomists can dig into the results of 2025 on-farm research trials during the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network’s upcoming Annual Results Update meetings.
The meetings will feature presentations highlighting results from the network’s 2025 on-farm research studies, covering topics such as crop production, fertility and soil management, non-traditional products, cover crops, crop protection and equipment.
“With around 115 studies covering 37 Nebraska counties, there truly are topics for everyone interested,” said Adam Leise, Nebraska On-Farm Research Network director. “These studies cover a wide array of agronomic knowledge, and economic thresholds. The locally sourced information is highly beneficial for growers in all areas of our state.”
Nebraska On-Farm Research Network's farmer-led projects in 2025 included studies on imagery-based nitrogen decision-making, dry edible bean production, soybean seed treatments, soybean seeding rates, drone fungicide applications, among many others.
The NOFRN will host six results update meetings across the state throughout February and March:
- Tuesday, Feb. 17 — Holthus Convention Center, York
- Wednesday, Feb. 18 — Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Educator Center, near Mead
- Tuesday, Feb. 24 — Buffalo County Extension Office, Kearney
- Thursday, Feb. 26 — Knight Museum and Sandhills Center, Alliance
- Tuesday, March 3 — Holt County Extension Office, O’Neill
- Wednesday, March 4 — Kimmel Orchard Event Center, Nebraska City
All meetings will begin at 9 a.m. local time, with check-in and refreshments occurring 30 minutes beforehand. The meetings are free to attend, but pre-registration is required for all participants.
Meeting attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the 2025 Research Results book. This edition contains results from over 115 studies conducted throughout Nebraska during the 2025 growing season, including studies that will be discussed at the update meetings.
