Data Connects You to Opportunity For Your Farm.

Connect to those opportunities through
The Connected Ag Project

Make your data work as hard as you do.

Farm Journal has served producers for more than 140 years, and we’re proud to be part of the next generation of solutions that connect financial and agronomic resilience to enhanced market opportunities. Data collection and monitoring are critical for responsible on-farm decision-making but can also connect you to success through additional markets. 

The Connected Ag Project connects farm data to opportunity by equipping you with the tools and assistance needed to be competitive in emerging marketplaces. Enrolled producers are eligible for support in digital information systems and technical and financial support for conservation practices on farm. 

Meet those who have already enrolled and are seeing the benefits that Connected Ag Project practices are having at the farm-gate and on their bottom line.
