SUMMARY:International Conference for On-Farm Precision Experimentation
DESCRIPTION:\nIntroduction\nOn-farm precision experiments (OFPEs) are large
 \, statistically valid on-farm agronomic trials that farmers implement usi
 ng precision technology to generate data-based input management decisions.
  On Jan. 8-11\, the Data-Intensive Farm Management Project (DIFM) will be 
 hosting the USDA-sponsored International Conference for On-Farm Precision 
 Experimentation. The conference will be preceded by a Jan. 7 welcome and 
 ”meet and greet\,” in which DIFM’s NRCS-sponsored subsidization of f
 armers and consultants to conduct on-farm research is explained. Jan. 8-9 
 will introduce OFPE to farmers and farm managers\, professional crop consu
 ltants\, and college students in digital agricultural programs\, and will 
 feature training sessions for the use of the DIFM’s cloud-based cyber-in
 frastructure\, which offers user friendly methods for the design\, impleme
 ntation and analysis of OFPEs. Farmers and consultants will present result
 s and lessons from their on-farm trials. January 10-11 will focus on acade
 mic research reports\, but will be open to all.\n\nJan. 8-9: Conference fo
 r farmers\, consultants\, and anyone else interested in data-based crop pr
 oduction management.\nJan. 10-11: Reports of formal academic research\, ai
 med at professional researchers but open to all.\nSummary of Agenda\n\n 	P
 resentations by farmers who have conducted OFPEs in the US\, Canada\, Sout
 h Amercia and South Africa\n 	Presentations by crop consultants who have w
 orked with farmers to design OFPEs\n 	Presentations by leading scientists 
 who have developed the cyber-infrastructure that is making OFPE available 
 to the world\n 	Hands-on training sessions on how to use DIFM software and
  database infrastructure to design\, run\, and analyze the data from OFPEs
 \n 	Presentations and discussions of formal academic research.\n\nTravel I
