Alberta Sheriffs shut Parkland drug house

Jun 22, 2023

The Alberta Sheriffs have shut down a property in Parkland County that attracted criminal and drug activity to the area.

The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit of the Alberta Sheriffs obtained a court order against the owner of Lot 117 at 52318 Range Road 25 that gives investigators the authority to close the property for 90 days, starting at noon on June 22.

The community safety order, obtained in Court of King’s Bench, bars people from the property until the closure period ends on Sept. 20. Crews are installing a fence around the lot and boarding up the house to prevent unauthorized access during the 90 days.

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
