Arkansas Row Crop Verification

The Arkansas Row Crop Verification Program is funded by the different Arkansas Promotion Boards.

History of the program

In the 1980s, crop yields were declining, prices were low, and production costs were high.  Producers requested that the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture field-test existing technologies to determine the profitability of production. The Arkansas Row Crop Research Verification Program was born. The program began in 1980 with cotton.

The Arkansas Row Crop Verification Program is an interdisciplinary effort among growers, county Extension agents, Extension specialists, and Division of Agriculture researchers. It is an on-farm demonstration of all the research-based practices and technologies recommended to maximize the production and profitability of row crops in Arkansas.

Verification Program goals

The overall goal is to verify that management according to Division of Agriculture recommendations can result in increased profitability compared to standard producer practices.  Some other goals of the program are to establish an economic database, demonstrate that high yields can be constantly achieved economically, promote timeliness in management decisions and provide training and assistance to new county agents. Rice and soybean verification programs began in 1983, followed by wheat verification in 1986 and corn and grain sorghum in 2000.
