"Monday we'll touch on soil fertility and compaction, Tuesday we'll be talking about insects and canola disease. On Wednesday we'll be talking about weed identification and herbicide injury, and on Thursday we'll be talking about all the stuff going on with irrigation in Saskatchewan."

Anyone interested in taking part in Crop Diagnostic Week can google Prairie.CCA and fill out the registration form.
