The University of Nebraska Testing Ag Performance Solutions (TAPS) program is an innovative program developed by University of Nebraska research and extension specialists and educators. These competitions bring together UNL scientists and extension professionals, producers, industry leaders, agriculture students, government regulators and agency personnel to become part of a highly engaged network focused on evolving profitability and input-use efficiency. This low-risk environment offers participants the ability to test a large variety of strategies and technologies, as well as gives them access to a large dataset from the competitions at the end of the year. 

In this episode, we speak with Chuck Burr, an extension educator who helps run the TAPS program, and Shawn Woollen, the winner of the highest input use efficiency in the 2022 sprinkler irrigated corn competition.
