Happy World Soil Day! My research site was featured on AAFC's LinkedIn page today.

What causes yield variability within a field, and which factors are most significant? Our interview with Jay Whetter's Canola Watch podcast on Field Variability. @Lockeal @CanolaWatch Thank you Jay for this opportunity to share our research! Link: https://t.co/n0fDOamuiw

@steffilazerte @rOpenSci What kind of change did they make? Is it re format or new variables?

If you are growing cover crops in Manitoba, I want to know! We are launching a 3 year survey to get some real numbers on adoption here in Manitoba.

This week is National Soil Conservation Week. Our agri-food sector relies on soil, but Canada’s amount of healthy, usable soil continues to decline. We need to make soil health a priority. #CdnSoilWeek19 #AgandRuralMatters #SoilHealth

Got down to 10 F (-12 C) again, radishes should be done, but the other 11 species will carry on. Overseeded into corn in early July, germinated with rain in late July. Data shows little nitrate escaping over winter compared to October-planted covers. Red clover will be a bonus.
