DISCOVERY FARMS

Discovery Farms is governed by a Steering Committee. This farmer-led group identifies program priorities and participates in the selection of research locations. Duties of the Steering Committee do not stop at the board meeting door. Farmer leadership is a crucial component of Discovery Farms. The Steering Committee, as well as farmer cooperators, stay involved year-round... Discovery Farms works with a wide range of agricultural enterprises to determine the environmental impacts of production agriculture, and what various farms contribute in terms of environmental enhancement or degradation. We maintain a reliable database that includes not only environmental data, but management practices and financial conditions that allow for determining the cost of implementing environmentally sound practices... The Discovery Farms® Program is proud to be a part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension.
