On-farm research consultancy supporting the understanding of what works on-farm, through experimentation, evidence and exchange.  Also by developing shared distilled explanations, utilising this FarmPEP.net platform to get to the key knowledge nuggets for any topic or issue.

Its still early days, but we are developing solutions to better conduct & connect agronomic research on-farm. We work with farmers to prove products and practices in real relevant conditions, with on-farm trials, measurements that matter, data sharing and feedback of experience. 

Working with TEAM AG we are connecting to networks of independent scientists, agronomists, farmers, advisors, agtech professionals, marketeers, strategists, funders, investors, policy makers, communicators and consultants around the world.

Get in touch if you have a product you want to prove on-farm, or if you want to prove the practices that improve performance in your area of interest. 

If you are interested in working with us and joining the Agronomy Research Circle, comment below or contact daniel@arcagsci.com.

Data

Agriculture now generates vast amounts of data of different types and at different scales. The ownership, access, control, sharing, value, permissioning, intergration, security, safeguarding and sovereignty of this data represent multiple challenges and opportunities for the sector.

Knowledge

Farm-PEP aims to bring together all the sources of useful knowledge for Agriculture, whether from academic science, applied research projects, industry trials, farmers own trials or simple on-farm experience. Listed below are useful websites, organisations and websites that we know of.  Add any we've missed in the comments box or by adding as new content, or better still, as a new Group.  

Farm centric research

Farm-centric research generally involves On-Farm Experimentation and may be better described as 'Farm Action Research', i.e. research conducted at least in part by and for beneficiaries who also farm. 

Beans x wheat x polyhalite trial

As part of the NCS Pulse PEP project we've created an experiment that will allow the value of beans to the following wheat crop to be quantified, and also to see the effect of polyhalite on both beans and wheat, this year and next.

Precision Farming

Precision farming involves the use of GPS, sensing and control technologies to use spatial data to manage soils, crops and livestock. 

The Agronomy Research Circle (ARC)

Understanding what works on farm through Explanations, Evidence, Experimentation and Exchange.  We are developing a community that supports knowledge generation and sharing of 'what works' on-farm, bringing together people, tools and resources - Do you want to be part of it?  For any one looking to test agronomic solutions for the ADOPT program we can support projects as facilitators, contractors or project partners.   

Yorkshire Crop Nutrition Club

We are starting an ADOPT project with four farmers in Yorkshire to explore how we can make better crop nutrition decisions. Working with ADAS and the High Mowthorpe Farming Association and other local groups we are looking to engage more widely to gather and test ideas and experiences. 

Research

Agricultural research is conducted by a range of organisations, from individual farmers, through advisors, distributors, manufacturers, charities, societies, supply chain companies, levy bodies, universities and research institutes.  This page aims to connect across these often disparate sources.

Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge Exchange in Agriculture in the UK is diverse, with many organisations involved. That is part of the reason for creating Farm-PEP, to help provide connections to what many percieve as a fragmented landscape.

FireWater - On-farm Nitrogen plasma electrocatalysis ADOPT project

This Defra ADOPT project is testing an exciting new technology from the United States that can allow farmers to produce nitrogen on-farm with a low-cost electro-catalysis plasma process.
