INfield Advantage: Your Farm, Your Future
INfield Advantage, formerly known as Indiana’s On-Farm Network, is a proactive, collaborative opportunity for farmers to collect and understand personalized, on-farm data to optimize their management practices to, ultimately, improve their bottom line and benefit the environment.
Currently, there are 35 farmer groups that participate in INfield Advantage. These 35 groups are made up of 403 farmers, 1,015 fields and 72,000 acres.
INfield Advantage is brought to you by: Indiana Corn Marketing Council, Indiana Soybean Alliance, Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services, Purdue Extension and the Indiana Conservation Partnership.
When it comes to farm management, one key to success is managing risk. That can be challenging in the current agricultural environment, but Managing Farm Risk is here to help. A partnership between Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture, the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council, this site offers information and tools to help you better understand risk and develop an integrated approach to managing it. Case studies and worksheets give you hands-on practice with the tools and theories provided throughout the site.
Impact Indiana: Nutrient Management and Soil Health Strategy
The Indiana Nutrient Management and Soil Health (NMSH) strategy was created to improve education and awareness of best management practices. Because farmers are in the best position to determine the practices that are most productive on their own farms to achieve reductions in nutrient loss, the NMSH strategy will increase on-farm awareness, which will lead to improved nutrient management, soil health and, ultimately, Indiana’s water quality.
This comprehensive strategy will stretch across multiple years with three main goals:
- Increase awareness among farmers that nutrient loss from soil to water is an issue and can be managed at the farm level
- Empower farmers to review and adopt new best management practices
- Keep best management practices in the hands of farmers
Representing key organizations in the private and public sectors, this collaborative effort showcases the desire of farmers to address concerns in a way that make sense and positions Indiana as a leader in resource management.
