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.
