The Southern Applied Research Association (SARA) is an organized  group of producers, industry representatives and researchers from southern Alberta interested in improving the sustainability and efficiency of farming methods used throughout the region. Since 1994, SARA has provided a forum for the exchange of ideas between our members.  We strive to ensure that producers are able to access answers to their production questions.


Mission:

To create innovative opportunities, adapt to emerging issues and disseminate unbiased information to help sustain producer profitability and environmental stewardship.

Vision:

Based out of Lethbridge, SARA conducts a wide range of applied research projects within a geographic area of 14 million acreas.  This region contributes 43 per cent of the total gross farm receipts for Alberta as the area includes almost all of the province's irrigated acreage, substantial acres dedicated to crops of very high value, high concentrations of livestock, and large areas of dryland cropping and pasture.  With the close proximity of transport links and population centres, SARA's region includes many value-added industries.
