Currently recording @MbPulseGrowers 2021 Results Series videos (available soon) and wanted to share this tidbit. Are your yield differences a real result of your treatment? Are they from random variability?? Stats have the answer. Look for stats when consuming #trial results!

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

The 2021 Results Series videos are now available! Short, to the point, results by trial type. The videos feature a new ‘Across the Network’ look at results over all 10 years of our program, in addition to 2021 results🌱 https://t.co/Trk0pTGkmc

A little glimpse of an On-Farm Network trial harvest. From combining the strips, to stats in the truck, we love harvest season! #onfarmresearch #blackbeans #harvest2021

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

A little sunrise soil sampling for the On-Farm Network team this morning, before heading to another #drybean trial harvest this afternoon

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

Only able to harvest half of our #pintobean #tillage trial this afternoon…big differences in pinto production between strip-till and conventional till this year ⬇️ Avg yield of strip-till: 1375 lb/ac. In-season soil moisture data to be analyzed soon! #Harvest2021

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

Dry bean response in a dry year 🌱From a colour difference during vegetative growth, to more vigorous growth during reproductive stages and a 150 lb/ac yield increase, our 70 lb N/ac treatment outperformed the 0 N control at this #drybean trial, this season

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

In a year where every little bit of moisture makes a difference, we’re sure seeing some amazing visual responses to #striptill in this pinto bean trial. Excited for harvest data! #onfarmresearch #grow21 #drought21

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

It’s a year for dry bean visual responses, apparently! Differences in growth and vigour between conventional till (left) and strip-till black beans (right). Similar visual differences in our pinto bean tillage trial. Will there be a yield difference?? Excited to see!

[On-Farm Network Agronomist @OFNagronomist]

Some noticeable differences in plant architecture and canopy closure between 160K (left) and 100K (right) soybean seeding rates ⬇️
