AgManager KSU-Tribune KSU-Colby Akron ARS UNL-North Platte KARA Dakota Lakes Kastens Inc. Farms is dedicated to conducting and supporting on-farm research efforts as a means to test new methods, treatments and ideas as well as to extend valuable research coming from the small-plot world of research farms and laboratories to the whole farm level. We have been members of the Kansas Agricultural Research Association (KARA) for seven years. Our strong connections to both Kansas State University and Kansas University allow us to evaluate many modern technologies, methods, and advanced statistical and econometric modeling in an on-farm framework.
