Precision Sustainable Agriculture
Connecting farmers with site-specific knowledge through technology and people to enable science-based, real-time decision making and long-term planning.

-
On-Farm Research
Farmers in over twenty-five states have partnered with PSA to study cover crop performance in working conditions.

Technology and Services
The Technology and Services team works with farmers to implement state of the art technologies on working farms across the United States.
-
Social Sciences and Economics
Our Social Sciences and Economics teams work closely with farmers to best learn their motivations and barriers to implementing cover crops on their farms.
-
Education
University partners train the next generation of agriculturalists in precision agriculture by creating courses related to the use of cover crops and sustainable practices.
-
Extension
Working in conjunction with local agricultural extensions and the regional Cover Crop Councils, the Farmer and Stakeholder Outreach teams create robust products and tools to support farmer success.
