Thanks to @LauraVanEerd for her introduction to some of the research on-going at Ridgetown. Long-term cover crop trial (est. 2007) showing some powerful visuals in 2023. No N applied to corn - long-term cover crop showing visibly larger & healthier plants.

What are moisture conditions for crops in your area?

[Ryan Carlow @RCarlow]

Hey #OntAg, does anyone know someone who grows corn or soy on clay loam soils (green on the map) in South Eastern Halton? Looking for those on Oneida, Chinguacousy or other clay loams for Free Soil Health sampling. https://t.co/dgZzXt4snd for more details.

[Ryan Carlow @RCarlow]

Additionally, anyone farming corn or soy in Southeastern Caledon on King, Oneida, Chinguacousy or Cooksville clay loams (green below). We need good representation from these soil types in our sampling project. We handle all the work, just need the sites.

[SOILS AT GUELPH @SoilsAtGuelph]

So great to attend the @plantagguelph Wheat Field Day with #OntAg, @UofGuelphOAC, @GrainFarmers,@JoFollings, and more! Our factsheet with @greenbeltca shows the positive net returns of including Wheat in rotation. Check it out.
