Happy New Year! January is the last month to take part in the University of Manitoba 2020 Prairie Cover Crop Survey! sites.google.com/view/prairieco… Help us tell the story of covercropping in Western Canada 🇨🇦 We also encourage farmers who have never grown a #covercrop to share their perspective.

Happy #CdnAgDay I’m thankful for all the amazing people I’ve met in the industry and for those who got me into ag!

Passed both of the CCA exams ✅

Last chance to take part and join the more than 1,000 farmers that have already taken part! Prairie farms: surveymonkey.com/r/prairiecover… Ontario farms: surveymonkey.com/r/OntarioCover… #ontag #CdnAg #agtwitter #westcdnag #covercrop #covercrops #mbag #saskag #skag

Soil test is in, and it’s not good!!! #soilhealth

What is your biggest hurdle to implementing cover crops on your farm?

After a good day of soil sampling may as well do a 5k #JourneyForDoMoreAg @WinFieldCanada DoMoreAg

Today, choose to remember high winds combined with dry, uncovered fields. Remember the soil blowing away and how that makes you feel. Then do something - this year - try cover crops, manage residue at harvest, get and keep cover on those fields so we don’t feel this way again

Next month's online "Soil Fertility Refresher Course" is already half-full, so if you want to participate, contact John Heard asap, as listed below. Best comment from last year's class - "this stuff is a lot easier to learn in middle age, without being hung over in lectures"🤓

On World Soil Day remember only 16, 21 & 8% of land in AB, SK & MB, respectively are suitable for annual crop production. Our soils are essential for food production but are a very limited resource! We must ensure our soils are conserved & well managed for future generations.
