2022 Farming Smarter Field School
June 23 @ 8:00 am – 4:30 pm

We’re back to open air learning at the Farming Smarter Field School – June 23!
8:00 am – 4:30 pm
Come learn about the impact of land rolling on grain and silage production in cereals under irrigation, the effectiveness of seeding durum ultra-early, and how winter crops get a jump on growth in the spring!
Additionally, we will showcase the latest advancements in variable rate irrigation and bring back a few of our favourite trials on-the-go – Perfectly Placed Pulses, and the effects of biostimulants on wheat, pea, & canola!
This year, we have an A-list cast of speakers with outstanding presentations. Staff and guest speakers, like Western Ag Innovation’s own Eric Bremer, and AAFC’s Brian Beres will show you on-going projects in our fields.
Join us for a full day of exciting research discussion and see the latest advancements in agriculture innovation.
We hope to see you there!
