What is Agri-ARM?
The
Saskatchewan Agri-ARM (Agriculture-Applied Research Management) Program
connects eight regional applied research and demonstration sites into
a province-wide network. Each location has an affiliated producer group
that sets the research priorities for that site.
Agri-ARM sites serve
as centres for applied research and demonstration, focusing on increasing
value from crops and enhancing production efficiency and environmental
stewardship in a region.
Agri-ARM provides
the forum for government, producers, researchers and industry associations
to partner on provincial and regional projects.
