S/S International Agricultural Research’s primary farm research center is located on 1100 acres in central Ohio, an area representative of the most productive and agriculturally intensive region of the United States. The soil profile is predominately a silt clay loam in texture with 2.5-3.0% organic matter.

S/S International Agricultural Research has networks and research linkages to other private research services and to all major agricultural university research centers, assuring that all testing program operate under ideal conditions in appropriate agricultural environments throughout the United States.

The Ohio farm research center is divided in specific areas for each type of evaluation—row crop sites where various pest pressures are encouraged for pesticide evaluations; forage crop areas; field screen sites where specific pests are introduced to determine activity and crop residue/environmental fate sites for single or multiple-year studies; variety evaluations with minimal pest pressure.

On-site support facilities provide full compliance with all current Good Laboratory Practices, and Good Field Practice Standards and Regulations. These facilities also include: all John Deere farm equipment; formulation and preparation laboratory; controlled chemical storage; controlled freezer storage; record storage vault; clean sample supply room; communications (facsimile, 24 hour telephone monitoring); data transfer modem; computer systems (electronic data capture, reporting, statistical analysis), on-site meteorological monitoring (precipitation, continuous air and soil temperatures, wind speed and direction, relative humidity and solar radiation), fully operational irrigation systems, maintenance shop and equipment storage.
