Purdue Agricultural Centers (PACs)<\/a> across the state of Indiana collect many different types of data every year at both field and smaller research trial scales. The amount of historic data generated from each of these PACs is substantial, especially with the usage of precision management equipment that generates high-resolution data related to agronomic operations. These data could potentially help answer several important questions in regard to changing climate, management practices, and cultivars. However, these legacy data are either not easily accessible and\/or interpretable due to several challenges such as lack of standard data archival practices and large volume. To address this problem, worked with Alex Helms and Joel Wahlman from Southeast Purdue Ag to we explored data from the PACs backed up on SMS Advanced software program with the aim of building infrastructure that makes data accessible to College of Agriculture community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
