In Massachusetts, Indigo Ag, Inc., a company dedicated to harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet, announced the expansion of its innovation platform, Indigo Research Partners. The platform, which was launched in 2017 as Indigo Partners, involves collaborating with 50 leading growers and agronomic experts to evaluate agricultural technologies over 25,000 acres.
“Traditional agriculture has never had access to this level of information,” said Jeremy Jack, of Silent Shade Planting Company, a Mississippi Delta based Advisory Board Member and Indigo Research Partner. “The data I am seeing on my farm through Indigo Research Partners allow me to make key decisions to improve our profitability and understand the truth on my farm. These are insights we can trust to make a difference on our farms.”
Indigo Research Partners enables an entirely new method of agricultural R&D by eliminating the “one size fits all” approach associated with traditional field trials.
