The Brandon Research Centre (BRC) is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's national network of 19 research centres. The Centre is located in the Parkland region of the Canadian Prairies in the city of Brandon, and is one of the original five experimental farms established by the Federal Government in 1886 under The Experimental Farm Station Act.

The BRC conducts research on crop production, including fertilization requirements of crops, ecology and control of weeds, biology and management of crop diseases, genetics and breeding of barley, management of pastures and cattle, land resource management, and impacts of agriculture on the environment.

Results of these research areas produce knowledge, technologies, and management practices that enable agricultural producers of the Parkland region to produce safe and healthy food and fibre products demanded by national and international consumers; to improve their husbandry practices in order to enhance the environmental and economic sustainability of their land and water resources; to improve the efficient use of inputs and resources; and to increase their economic and market competitiveness in domestic and international markets.
