Overview:
The purpose of On-Farm Trials is to stimulate the adoption and evaluation of innovative conservation approaches in partnership with agricultural producers. On-Farm Trials supports the implementation of innovative approaches that have a positive conservation effect but which, for any number of reasons, have not yet been adopted by producers.

For 2020, On-Farm Trials applications must address one of the four following priorities: 1) Irrigation Management Technologies, 2) Precision Agriculture Technologies and Strategies, 3) Management Technologies and Strategies, and 4) Soil Health Demonstration Trials (SHD). Proposals may address more than one priority, but each proposal must clearly identify a primary priority for the application to be considered under. For each priority area, a review panel will be established with expertise in a subject matter relevant to the priority. The primary priority selected by an applicant will determine which peer panel will review the application.
