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-Station Research

    Research occurs on agricultural research stations to quantify and better understand the effects of cover crops. The data collected then goes to inform farmer decision support tools.

  • 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.
