The City of Calgary occupies over 825 sq km & wants to annex over 4,000 acres of prime agricultural land. About 80% of this land is rated Class 2 for agriculture, our best ag land (Alberta has no Class 1 land). It’s very disappointing to see continued loss of our best ag lands.

This morning, I had the chance to connect with Dr. David Lobb of UM Ag&Food Sciences. I always appreciate chatting about #soil health - especially with an expert! Thanks for the informative update on your ongoing study.

Congratulations to Amanda Diochon, CSSS' new President-Elect!

We're wishing a happy and quick remote learning experience for parents, students and teachers in MB! FFDC has 30 free educational activities available for download on our website. Grab yours here: umanitoba.ca/farm-and-food-… Happy learning!

A great line-up once again for this FREE conference. Registration is now open!

Last year MCGA contributed $500,000 towards the Prairie Crops & Soils Research Facility at University of Manitoba. In this video UM Ag&Food Sciences Dean Dr. Martin Scanlon talks about this investment & how the facility will strengthen the development of tomorrow’s agricultural specialists #canola

Do you have a great project that will benefit students in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences? The Endowment Fund Committee is seeking proposals for special projects requiring funding. news.umanitoba.ca/2022-endowment… University of Manitoba University of Manitoba Alumni

Join the Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes Lab in LFS, in collaboration with OrganicBC! eventbrite.ca/e/ubc-soil-sci… They will be sharing research results from two projects at the UBC Farm, as well as facilitating farmer-to-farmer discussions.

Remembering the founder of femtochemistry, Ahmed Zewail, who was born #OTD in 1946. Zewail was awarded the 1999 #NobelPrize in Chemistry "for his studies of the transition states of chemical reactions using femtosecond spectroscopy." Learn more: bit.ly/2RyXPnj

Thank you to @thefarmsibs for hosting us at our first stop for #CanolaResearch camp. Great discussion about flea beetles and plant stand establishment.

We are off on day 2 of #canolaresearch camp. Farmers: What research has the potential to make the biggest impact on your farm?

We have developed a National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (#NTEMS) for #Canada. -Goal science supported product development. #landcover #biomass #timeseries #forestinventory #forestrecovery #Landsat For background or your own literature review: researchgate.net/publication/35…
