PA On-Farm Network

An On-Farm Network project, spearheaded by Penn State Plant Pathologist Paul Esker and Penn State Extension Educator Del Voight, provides real-life, on-farm production scale data to aid farmers in their ongoing crop management decision-making. Farms throughout Pennsylvania with varying field, equipment and crop conditions contribute to the project’s data. Research is being conducted in counties throughout Pennsylvania.

WANTED! Cooperators for On-Farm Network Soybean Research

The Pennsylvania Soybean Board along with Penn State Extension is looking for farm cooperators willing to participate in On-Farm Network soybean research.

The Network works by conducting research in real-world conditions on test plots planted by farmer/collaborators throughout Pennsylvania on their own farms with their own equipment to see which management practices have an appreciable impact on production.

This project is open to all soybean producers in Pennsylvania. Growers interested in participating in any of the trials are encouraged to contact their local Extension Educator for more information. The On-Farm Network is funded by the soybean checkoff and administered by Penn State. For questions about the Pa. Soybean On-Farm Network, contact Del Voight, Senior Extension Educator at dgv1@psu.edu, 717-270-4391 or Dr. Paul Esker, PSU Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology and Extension Specialist, pde6@psu.edu, 814-360-5459.
