Report affirms high consumer trust in farmers

The inaugural Canadian Food Sentiment Index from the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University affirms that consumer confidence in Canadian farmers remains high.

Agronomy update: Strip-tillage shows potential for corn production

A two-year research project, conducted in 2015 and 2016 in Manitoba, was to determine if starter phosphorous (P) fertilization would improve early corn development and increase yields, whether side-banding P in the spring near the seed would outperform fall deep-banded P applications, and if the agronomic benefits of starter P fertilization would be greater in strip-tillage than conventional tillage due to slower diffusion and root uptake of P in the strip-tillage system.

In other words, they looked for plants that were able to capture more sunlight and convert that light into photosynthesis, a plant’s innate ability to convert light into food. » Read more...

Back to business with agriculture

While growing up on a feedlot operation propels some farm kids to launch into a career in agriculture, that wasn’t the case for Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture (IWCA) nominee Kendra Donnelly. She didn’t enjoy working with animals and didn’t initially see another path into agriculture. It was pursuing a business degree – and the opportunities and people she met along the way – that changed her perspective on a one-size-fits-all approach to adding value to the farm. » Read More...
