W.K. Kellogg Biological Station KBS Long-Term Agroecosystem Research

The KBS LTAR team published a photo timeline that visually compares the two cropping systems in the Aspirational Cropping Systems Experiment (ACSE) throughout the 2025 growing season. Follow each system month-by-month to see how the crops develop over time and to observe differences in crop growth and field conditions.

Whether you're a scientist, stakeholder, farmer, student, or simply interested in agricultural research, this collection offers an accessible way to explore the ACSE and understand how Aspirational and Business-as-Usual systems visually contrast throughout the growing season.
