Hi Alberta Farmers! Is anyone planning to put in a peola field this year ...and want us to monitor insects in it? We are looking for commercial #peaola fields to monitor as part of a RDAR (Results Driven Agriculture Research) funded project. Fields in central AB are of most interest. Please DM me.

Hello AB farmers! We are looking for a pea field in Parkland county to monitor for insects to compare with nearby peaola fields. Any AB Pulse Growers growers near Stony Plain with a pea field who wants to participate in this RDAR (Results Driven Agriculture Research) funded project? Please DM me.

Check out this podcast where I discuss some of the research conducted by sharri_kher in my lab on: Pests & Predators, Ep 29: The ecology of fear youtu.be/er9jFSLJOkA?si… via YouTube

Took my reusable cup to Tim Hortons on the University of Alberta campus for tea. Apparently, the "policy" is to measure the drink with a paper cup before putting it into the reuasable cup!! Comeon! I thought we were a "sustainable" campus!! I made a fuss...but the "policy" needs to change.
