Field research for soil that holds water.
We run long-season trials on cover crops, moisture sensors, and low-input rotations across forty-two hectares in the Red River Valley. Notes from the station, published as we collect them.

Continuous records
Telemetry bench
Soil moisture at 14 cm and 45 cm, canopy temperature, and rainfall totals from our six field nodes. Data is reviewed every Monday before it goes into the public archive.
Drill calibration
Seeding-rate checks and depth settings for our no-till drill after each pass. Includes wear notes on coulters and closing wheels.
Visit the station
Field walks on the first Thursday of each month. No registration — meet at the equipment shed by 07:30.
Lab soil tests
Organic matter, aggregate stability, and infiltration rates from our on-site lab. Results posted within ten days of sampling.
We publish what we measure, not what we wish we'd measured.
Northwind Field is an operator-owned research station. We share trial protocols, failed experiments, and raw sensor exports so neighboring growers can compare notes without a sales pitch attached.
