ISU VDL Client Web Portal

The ISU VDL developed a user-friendly system for enhancing accuracy and consistency of farm data needed to elevate VDL client records to the electronic era; improve the state of preparedness across VDL’s client base; and capture the efficiencies and quality assurance benefits gained by adopting electronic means of information transfer. Thus, we have improved web tools that provide a mechanism for consistently incorporating the correct premises level identifiers into VDL records. 

We strongly encourage an initial phone or on-site consultation with a VDL staff member to ensure personalized libraries of Owners and Sites are set up in such a way that serves your specific purposes.

Please contact Dr. Katie Woodard  (515-294-1950 or isuvdl@iastate.edu for details).
