Agriculture Development Group, Inc. (ADG) was founded in 1998 to conduct independent research and provide consulting services to the agriculture industry. The research farm is located 15 miles north of Pasco on 100 acres of highly productive farmland in the Columbia Basin. With sandy loam soils and a hot dry climate, this area provides ideal growing conditions for over 100 crops. ADG has conducted research trials on nearly every major and minor crop grown in Washington. Approximately 70% of ADG research trials in 2021 focused on pest management of insects, nematodes, weeds, or diseases, 25% of research trials were focused on fertility research, and 5% of trials involved varietal evaluations.

Alan Schreiber has four decades of expertise in entomology, pesticide toxicology, pesticide resistance, pesticide registration and consulting. We have four staff PhD Researchers with expertise in Horticulture, Entomology, and more.

ADG has nearly 60 acres of organic land, certified by WSDA, and has developed the largest private organic research program in the Pacific Northwest.

We have a research farm in the Columbia Basin of Eastern WA, a second research station in Western Washington, as well as a research presence in Wenatchee with a focus on tree fruit.
