Grand Farm Projects
Projects are the lifeblood of activity on the Grand Farm. Partner organizations of all sizes utilize their test plot land to perform hundreds of research projects every single year. This process is managed by the Grand Farm Program Management Office. The Program Management Office organizes activities into three categories: Demonstration & Research, Collaborative, and Signature. Each of the projects at the Grand Farm works to solve pain points in the agriculture industry and utilize the innovation platform to develop concepts and solutions further.

Signature Projects
Below are the five signature projects happening at the Grand Farm. Signature projects do not just include the projects through the Grand Farm platform, but also the events and conferences held throughout the year. Each signature project is monitored separately with detailed reports on projects, collaborators, results, and events that have occurred surrounding the project.

Started in 2021, FarmGrid leverages edge computing, which provides producers with low-latency, highly scalable computing to manage their farm web-applications. FarmGrid is a collaboration between organizations in sensor and IoT, unmanned aerial and ground systems, satellites, connectivity, edge and cloud computing, and heavy equipment.
Partners: Trilogy Networks / NDSU / DCN / Intel / Amazon Web Services / SoilTech Wireless / RealmFive / Veea / GenXComm / Microsoft
Started in 2021, Carbon, is an unnamed signature project on the Grand Farm bringing together multiple partners involved in carbon verification, data management, and carbon marketplaces. Currently, stakeholders are continuing to develop solutions that can verify carbon by taking soil samples, imaging by unmanned aerial vehicles, and images through satellite technology.
Partners: NDSU / CarbonSpace
Started in 2021, Compact, is focused on soil compaction and how innovations in agriculture technology can be leveraged to minimize compaction in the field. Multiple researchers in advanced agriculture technology have shown positive impacts of innovations in heavy machinery. As equipment becomes more advanced, controlled traffic production becomes easier, pathing becomes more accurate, and in some cases, machinery becomes smaller.
