testing environments

|
While most Alpha Ag trials are conducted in northwest Iowa near our headquarters in Sanborn, Iowa, a diverse set of testing locations are available across Midwestern states to provide many environments for variety trials or where multiple sites are needed for simple efficacy projects or seed treatment studies.
Our primary soils in northwest Iowa are highly productive and well drained mollisols derived from Peoria Loess. This soil type is representative of millions of crop acres of the upper Midwest. All trial sites are selected for consistency and uniformity to produce high quality assessment data. Call for details concerning trial environments that suite your field studies.
