Abstract

We outline a specialized form of knowledge arising from established communication practices between farmers, university researchers, and regulators. The grower standard is a benchmark concept in agricultural experiments that differs from familiar epistemic objects in philosophy of experiment such as controls or background conditions. It is a unique, institutionally-structured way in which agricultural experiments are value-laden. Grower standard is not a one-size-fits-all standard. It is the product of active interactions between diverse agricultural communities of stakeholders within agricultural extension communication practices. Exploring this form of knowledge coproduction, we explore the role extension work plays in shaping agricultural science more broadly.
