ABOUT HART
Hart is best known as the home of the Hart Field Day. Held in September of each year, the event attracts hundreds of farmers, advisors and industry reps from across the state.

Our field site features a research shed with plenty of storage and workspace, and the Hart Research Hub, where we host a number of extension activities and meetings throughout the year. It's also a great space for our team to have lunch while on-site.
Overseen by a board of twelve, Hart's operations are carried out by our research and administration teams. You'll find board and staff members alike to be welcoming, passionate and driven across all aspects of agricultural research and extension.
