Field Days
The University of Wisconsin system operates several agricultural research stations across the state. At each station’s annual field day, researchers are given the opportunity to present on their research and answer questions from local stakeholders. Below we have archived the research summary handouts prepared each year for these field days.
Hancock Ag Research Station
The Hancock Agricultural Research Station is a 412-acre vegetable research farm located in the Central Sands area of Wisconsin. Field trials at the station are related to potatoes, field corn, sweet corn, soybeans, snap beans, carrots, cucumbers and switchgrass. The station is also home to the Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Storage Research Facility.
Antigo/Langlade Ag Research Station
The Langlade Agricultural Research Station is operated by the University of Wisconsin Extension on behalf of the Wisconsin potato industry. The operation of the farm is supported financially through the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association by the Wisconsin Potato Industry Board and through industry support by the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers.
Rhinelander Ag Research Station
Since the 1940’s, the Rhinelander Agricultural Research Station (RARS) of UW-Madison has contributed to the development of new potato varieties and solving problems of agricultural and natural resource management in northern Wisconsin. RARS is home to the Wisconsin State Potato Breeding Program.
