A very useful summary of early adopter experience with spot sprays in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. @CarldeConinck @Agritruth @BilberryAgri @croplandsca

Adam Gurr, a farmer in Manitoba, uses controlled traffic farming practices to reduce soil compaction in his farm fields. Shown: a large tractor following specific paths in the field to lay down seed, w tire tracks of the tractor btwn crop rows. Learn more:

As we learned in this blog, soil health is important to farmers. Soil compaction reduces soil health. On farms, soil gets compacted when tractors drive across to do necessary work in agriculture. H…

Day 2, farm 1 of @CanolaGrowers #ResearchCamp… Adam and Stephen of @Agritruth at Rapid City, MB show us their Bilberry optical spray system and Agrifac sprayer. Cool application: using green on brown setting for real time on-off fungicide on #canola. See ground, doesn’t spray.

@cdnagro And if you want to see some "new" data that supports the "old" observations that crops yield best with a combination of P fertility and P fertilizer (plus benefits of VR), see Adam Gurr's (Agritruth Research) supplemental P study for 2018-2022 near Brandon MB

Cool stuff from Adam Gurr tests on low and high fert applications over long run. Short term little impact of lower rates, but longer term big impact.

Controlled traffic farming is proving its worth, say advocates: “I think where CTF really shines for us is in a season like this, where it’s too wet,” says Adam Gurr @GurrAdam. https://t.co/caBCuPyvd7

@fielddirt No need for me to rejoin the working class :) ... great to hear about Maryse's research ... and Adam Gurr @GurrAdam @Agritruth has also been measuring some large responses to supplemental deep banded P near Brandon in fully replicated on-farm trials

The saturated conditions in Manitoba allow us to conduct import research in partnership with @Agritruth We’re looking at trafficability in high moisture conditions and the impact of tracks or low ground pressure tires on compaction and subsequent yields in wheat. #CdnAg #Plant22

Adam Gurr heard of controlled traffic farming (CTF) about 15 years ago and dismissed it at first. He felt living in a freeze/thaw climate like ours would

@Joe_Widdup @HenryW_AAFC @Agritruth This is the first spring that we’ll have snowmelt data. P fertilizer placement (band v. broadcast), source (MAP v. struvite), and rate (build v. maintenance) went on Spring, 2021. Just north of Brandon, Newdale soil.

Waiting on the snow to melt over the past few weeks to link water quality with #4R phosphorus practices. @HenryW_AAFC @Agritruth

I know that it's literally the middle of harvest season, but these soils tours near Brandon still have openings. I'm looking forward to seeing Adam Gurr's @Agritruth long term P trial, several years after applying high rates of supplemental P fertilizer, for example.
We have expanded up our capacity limit for the tour with the changes in public health guidelines and there're many spots open for the Morning MBFI session and Adam Gurr's afternoon session! A few spots open for the MBFI afternoon session as well. Sign up for one or both sessions!

For Prairie farmers who measure land in hundreds or thousands of acres, how much does it matter if you drive your equipment a handful of inches this way or that way? A whole lot, says @GurrAdam with Agritruth Research. https://t.co/88iKQMElVK
