Nebraska On-Farm Research Network: By Farmers, For Farmers.
A collaboration between Nebraska Extension faculty and local Nebraska farmers, the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network (NOFRN) is a robust research program that finds solutions to critical crop production and profitability concerns through hands-on research experiments.
NOFRN conducts 80 to 100 on-farm studies each year, addressing topics like crop production, water and nutrient management, and cover crops. Local extension faculty assist participants with designing their trials and collecting data, and perform a statistical analysis of the data post-harvest. As each NOFRN study is tailored to the site's unique growing environment, farmer participants gain invaluable research insights that are directly applicable to their operations.

Farm Stat
Farm Stat helps farmers and agronomists analyze on-farm research data through a user-friendly interface. It performs statistical analyses, such as variance analysis, and provides clear conclusions about the effectiveness of different treatments. Users can input data manually or via Excel and save their analysis results to revisit later. Training videos, guides and templates assist with using the tool effectively. It's a valuable resource for improving agricultural decision-making.
