Making the Grade 2016

Growers have expressed interest in understanding the grading system and degrading factors in Canada. The Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) will provide this workshop in cooperation with the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) and Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission. CGC staff will provide a grading demonstration for producers and discuss degrading factors. Cigi technical staff will demonstrate/explain impacts of degrading factors on end product quality and the quality requirements for Canadian wheat around the world.

Soil Improvements for Maximum Microbial Activity

Video: Soil Improvements for Maximum Microbial Activity

What’s really happening beneath the soil surface?

If we want to grow nutrient-dense, resilient crops, we need to build an environment where soil microbes thrive. That means:

Keeping soil covered—no more bare, sunbaked fields!

Breaking compaction layers so roots can reach deeper moisture and nutrients

Feeding microbes with cover crops and living root exudates

Fix the soil environment, and the microbes will do the rest.
