TAPS Reports
Interactive real-life farm management competitions that empower practical technology exploration and innovation to evolve farm profitability and input-use efficiency.
The 2025 TAPS Report turns a season of competition into practical takeaways for your farm, showing how irrigation, nitrogen, and marketing decisions affected profitability. Explore the results and compare them to the decisions you’d make.
The 2024 TAPS Report documents our first Kansas competition — a sprinkler-irrigated corn challenge at the K-State Northwest Research-Extension Center in Colby — and what we learned as producers, researchers, and industry partners made real management decisions together. See how teams balanced water, nitrogen, and marketing in a western Kansas production system.
