Variable Rate Technology (VRT) has been all the talk among our farmers and researchers lately! 🙌
Contact us if you’re interested in testing it out on your farm or want to learn more.

Getting Variable Rate Technology (VRT) set up in the field! Adjusting inputs for individual farms lets us take a fine-tuned approach to various field applications.

Closing #NationalAgWeek we want to shout out our wonderful Model Farmers that put their own time and land aside to participate in this project for the good of agriculture and soil health research. We couldn't do it without them! 🫶

[LSUAgCenterOnFarmBMPs @lsu_BMPs]

It’s #NationalAgWeek! At the Model Farms, we’re running real‑world research trials to find practical BMPs for Louisiana growers. We are proud to work alongside the farmers and industry innovators who continue to put agriculture first!

We're throwing the spotlight on Brenda Tubana on International Day of #WomenInScience. She is a soil fertility professor and a passionate researcher. Her advice to girls in science: Work with passion in a career in science you choose. Maintain a relentless curiosity. @lsu_BMPs

[LSUAgCenterOnFarmBMPs @lsu_BMPs]

LSU AgCenter scientists are researching sweeping as a potential alternative to burning, with a focus on maintaining soil health and sugarcane productivity.

After harvest, leftover debris is swept off row tops and into furrows for quicker decomposition.
