Research Trial Results

Here growers will find the results of the trials that the research team conducts. Results are downloadable and will be updated annually.

Please know that just because we test/evaluate a specific product, variety, methodology, etc. in our Research Trials throughout the course of a season, it does not mean that Minn-Dak specifically endorses the product, variety, or methodology in question. If you have specific questions about the performance of product, its use, or anything related to the trial, please contact your Agriculturist or a member of our Research Staff.
