MN Long-Term Agricultural Research Network
The University of Minnesota established a Long-Term Agricultural Research Network (LTARN) in 2011 as a novel platform for research and education that emphasizes agricultural production through a unified network approach.
We also recognize that agricultural production must be practiced in a responsible manner that is consistent with social, economic and environmental desires.
Node Locations
Experimental nodes are strategically located at three of the ten Research and Outreach Centers (ROCs) supported by the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS). Each LTARN node has installed basic instrumentation to obtain detailed climate, soil, and plant information.
- Southern Research and Outreach Center (SROC) located in Waseca
- Southwest Research and Outreach Center (SWROC) located in Lamberton
North Central Research and Outreach Center (NCROC) located in Grand Rapids
