This past summer #EuropeanFarmers took to the streets & parliaments to protest for their rights & voices to be heard. We don't want to have to wait for it to get to that point here in Canada. Help us & be a voice in our survey of crop producers. Register @ https://t.co/B2emaUMyUw

Thanks, @GrainsWest for the article "CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE" on our research. We hope that our Manitoba & Albertan farmers read this article & are inspired to help our efforts of measuring the #agricultural contributions made to reduce carbon emissions!

@agbiousask Crop Rotation Survey provides proof of on-farm carbon sequestration gains: https://t.co/nucxCM6VAr @SAIFood_blog #westcdnag

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

From 1991-94, a 1000ha #SK farm released 15x more carbon/year than the avg car from tillage practices. That same farm's adoption of conservation tillage saw sequestration of emissions =95 cars for 2016-19. Aren't you curious what the impacts are in Alberta & Manitoba? We are!

We have finally crossed the line between winter & spring, which means it's time to get planting! To celebrate these sunny days, we are #TBT to @agbiousask's Cheryl Armstrong-Cho's 2018 guest blog on whether community gardens are a fad or are fabulous. https://t.co/liQyRCKKTD

Did you know that #SK crop production annually sequesters 2%-11% of the #CDN national emission reductions through its soil? So then what % do #MB and #AB crop production contribute to the national reduction? Help us answer this by enrolling in our survey: https://t.co/ArKp8oEWTK

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

@AlbertaAg @MBGovAg & @SKAgriculture work hard to share our crop contributions to the economy & environment with the rest of Canada. But just how much do our crops impact our #environment? @JordanSchiewe wants to quantify this in his @agbiousask research. https://t.co/ArKp8oEWTK

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

Western Canada's crop production has changed over the decades, thanks to science, innovation, & farmers' adoption. We know the yield & monetary benefits, but what has been the change to our environment? Help us quantify this change & show Canada the environmental benefits #ag.

[SAIFood @SAIFood_blog]

The #Canadian Prairies have adopted several changes to its crop production, of which we have seen production & exports grow over the decades. But what was has been the environmental benefits of these #Ag #innovations? This is what @JordanSchiewe & @stuartsmyth66 want to know.

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

Changes to #SKAgriculture crop production & agronomics meant that producers were creating positive environmental changes. But what's the impact from #Alberta & #Manitoba? Help us answer this by participating in our online crop producer survey. Register @ https://t.co/ArKp8oWxLi

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

Last year @cjsutherland_21 & Dr. @stuartsmyth66 research estimated that the reduction in #Saskatchewan's summerfallow hectares from the 90s till now resulted in 1161% gains to the sequestration of soils organic carbon.

@rferschy Yes Russell, we were fortunate enough to receive your support last year, thanks so much! If you know of anyone else who would be willing to help us out, we appreciate you spreading the word. Wishing you and your crops the best this year.

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

Are you concerned about the rising $ that #CarbonTax has on your farm? If so, we would like your help in communicating the benefits your farm provides for a more sustainable environment. #AB, #MB or #SK farmer you can help by registering for our survey @ https://t.co/ArKp8oEWTK

Thanks, @GerminationMag & @mzienkie for the wonderful article and for helping us get the word out about our research. Check out the article below:

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

Farmers have used sustainable practices like no-till and growing GM crops for years, but the full benefits are often not widely known. The @CropRotationSK survey hopes to change that. @stuartsmyth66 @JordanSchiewe https://t.co/4W6YYtDkrf

[Crop Rotation Survey of the Canadian Prairies @CropRotationSK]

For those #AB, #SK, & #MB crop producers who haven't registered for @JordanSchiewe's @agbiousask https://t.co/svIpzusgXr. research survey, here is a video to introduce you to his research & how you could help! With just a few months left in the program, he needs your help & data.
