Participate in the Great Lakes YEN Project
Registration for the 2026 program is now open
Farmers participating in the Great Lakes YEN will agree to collect soil, tissue, and grain samples at specific times throughout the duration of the project and send them to a lab in shipping boxes provided for analyses. Additionally, they are expected to:
- Keep a record of all crop inputs, track crop growth stages, and enter field data by established deadlines.
- Download software and/or an app and use it for data entry
- Participate in the year-end meeting
- Accept and arrange third-party verification of yield
Note: There is currently a $300 fee (paid in the currency of the participant’s home country) for each field registered in the program. The registration fee will increase to $325 after January 15th, 2026, therefore we encourage interested participants to register early.
