About Us

In 1990 a group of Indian Head-area farmers, along with researchers from the Indian Head Research Farm, gathered together to discuss areas of cooperation in the agricultural research field. The group recognized the great opportunities offered by the close proximity of the farm and felt it was critical that research stay focused on the practical relevance of new technologies. In order to strengthen this alliance, the farmers formed a group to become known as the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF). Since then, IHARF has grown to become an organization with hundreds of members across the Canadian prairies and northern US.
