Thank you for helping to shine a spotlight on the important role of agricultural extension, advisory and education in our society!
Thank you to Minister of Rural Affairs @LisaThompsonPC for visiting campus last week. Minister Thompson met with President Dr. Rene Van Acker and spoke at the @CAREE_Community conference. #UofG is proud to be Ontario’s hub for rural innovation.

On-farm field trials are critical for informing decisions and making management changes with confidence. I hope many of you are able to tune in to a conversation I’m really looking forward to!
This Monday on The Agronomists at 8 PM E, host @RealLoudLyndsey is joined by Agricultural Research Strategist @angiestraathof and Agronomy Programs Specialist @ldemoissac of @AlbertaGrains to discuss setting up on-farm trials and maximizing data use! 👉 https://t.co/0ezrM7vBvz

Starter fertilizer on wheat? Our data. P rate, soil test, placement all matter, K does NOT matter. Thanks @JoFollings

🌽 Planting a crop into a growing crop is called INTERSEEDING. It gives #CoverCrops a head start on fall establishment. Using modified planting equipment, this practice helps reduce erosion and improve water absorption. @stclairregionca @UofGuelphOAC

Ever seen a WASCoB or Hickenbottom? 👇 These structures help SLOW WATER on land prone to heavy runoff. This keeps soil in place and prevents runoff from polluting our waters. Protecting soil means protecting our future. 🌍 https://t.co/9dwdy7FPK5

Fertilizer, in focus. Not all parts of a field need the same nutrients. Farmers + #PrecisionAg technology + soil testing = using fertilizer where it's needed most. Because food, technology & #SoilHealth intersect. https://t.co/uB1EeTRzT1

#CoverCrops like radish 👇, turnips, or mustard grow LONG taproots that BREAK UP compacted soil, FIGHT weeds, and PULL nutrients from below. Smart roots = #healthysoil. https://t.co/3TVWP3vdQP

Never to be harvested, #COVERCROPS are among the silent heroes on the farm. They FIGHT soil erosion, BOOST #Soilhealth, IMPROVE #waterquality & FEED vital microbes. Farming: Food today and into the FUTURE! https://t.co/Yj2K1E8Sv2

Some crops are grown to care for the land. #MoreThanFood When farmers plant clover or alfalfa as #CoverCrops, they boost #SoilHealth, cycle nitrogen, build organic matter & prevent erosion. Farming for the future means growing smart. @stclairregionca
