Research funded through Virginia’s grain checkoff program plays a vital role in advancing the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of our farms. These reports, supported by the Virginia Grain Producers Association, provide growers with science-based insights on variety performance, pest and disease management, soil health, and more — all tailored to Virginia’s unique growing conditions. By investing in research that delivers real-world results, VGPA helps ensure that our producers have the knowledge and tools they need to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
