Plot2Farm aims to bring agronomic management research to the farm-gate.
Join Us and Lara de Moissac from Alberta Grains as we learn more about the projects and results from this on farm program. The Plot2Farm program was initially adapted from small plot research, Alberta Grains developed farm-ready research protocols that farmers can implement on-farm with the help of an agronomist. Since the program’s inception in 2020, Alberta Grains has expanded the list of protocols to include seeding rate, plant growth regulator, and a few custom trials per year.
