FS Technology and Learning Center

In the fall of 2021, a 23-acre property was acquired near Galesburg, IL, with a bold vision to establish an innovative hub for agricultural advancement: the FS Technology and Learning Center. Designed to bring FS employees, customers, and industry partners together, this state-of-the-art facility is a center for hands-on learning, collaboration, and innovation.

The center has dedicated 10.5 acres to advanced research and demonstration plots. These include cutting-edge trials such as AgValidity evaluations, short corn research, pumpkin variety testing, and high-yield studies for corn and soybeans. By offering an unbiased environment for testing seed genetics, crop production techniques, and nutrient management practices, this site empowers teams and growers with real-world insights to make smarter, more profitable decisions.

The FS Technology and Learning Center exemplifies our commitment to pioneering progress in agriculture, where data-driven decisions, collaboration, and trusted innovation come together to shape the future of farming.

AgValidity Trials

AgValidity

One of the most groundbreaking tools showcased at the Center is AgValidity. AgValidity is an FS-exclusive program that rigorously evaluates emerging products and technologies in agriculture. Through a structured, multi-phase process, GROWMARK agronomic experts thoroughly vet new solutions. The process includes in-depth product evaluations, manufacturer interviews, and extensive in-field trials across diverse geographies. Each product is measured against control standards to ensure validity and performance under real farm conditions.

Since its inception in 2019, AgValidity has assessed over 320 products, and just 14 have earned the AgValidity seal of approval. This thorough selection process ensures that only the most promising, proven innovations reach FS customers
