2011
Conduct in cooperation with Cloverfield Enterprises in Essex County, VA a series of field-scale demonstration and evaluation plots comparing variable rate (i.e., multiple rates within one field) injection sidedress N fertilizer application to corn to traditional “flat rate” (i.e., one rate across the field) injection application. The primary technology to be evaluated will vary application rates according to GPS-delineated zones with boundaries defined by soil type and/or yield history. Side-by-side variable rate vs. flat rate comparisons will be made on a total of at least six different demonstration plots with minimum size 25 acres during the life of the project. A minimum of two of these plots will also integrate a third comparison – variable rate N application based on the GreenSeeker™ sensor system.

2011
Conduct field scale demonstration projects with at least 10 crop producers within Virginia’s Coastal Plain where the variable rate, sensor based nitrogen delivery system known as GreenSeeker™ is compared to the standard nitrogen application method used by the producer. Over the life of the project, GreenSeeker™ will be demonstrated on a total of at least 1,600 acres of small grains and at least 1,600 acres of corn.

CTIC will demonstrate the utility, affordability and usability of nutrient management practices that apply the right source of fertilizer at the right rate, time and place by calculating nutrient use efficiency on the same fields where till outlast are monitored for nitrate concentrations.

2011
Dart-AM is a working geothermal greenhouse business that owns and operates Manley hot Springs Produce Co. The CIG was used for continued development of a combined heat and power system to lower the cost of farming greenhouse vegetables and to provide electricity and refrigeration at the farm. A spinoff of generating excel electrical power for community needs also existed.

This project is evaluating a Written Pole Motor as a cost effective alternative to three-phase power that provides an efficient use of electricity. With three-phase power not available in many rural areas in Wyoming, an efficient alternative is needed to power center-pivot irrigation systems.

2011
This project will demonstrate and evaluate new methods in biomass digestion technologies for mitigating animal mortality and food waste disposal by using portable digesters on-farm, to provide biomass solutions in markets where previously unavailable and to replace existing practices of composting, burying, landfills, burning and open pond digestion, offsetting operational costs (water, gas, and electricity). It will make the connection between anaerobic digestion and the direct, beneficial effects on the soil.

2011
Demonstrating the effectiveness of using a crimper roller in combination with a deep zone tiller and planter. Most farmers in the region have no first hand experience with crimper/rollers and this demonstrates the effectiveness in a real world setting. The project also includes additional studies oon the fuel savings and time savings of ganged instruments.

This project is focused on fixing the gully and ephemeral erosion problem that is flowing into a wetland area. The Wetland is home to the federally protected Hine's Emerald Dragonfly habitat.
