Saskatchewan producers asked to take study on forage lands

A survey is looking to provide better data on just what producers do with their forage lands.

The overall study, being done by the University of Saskatchewan, is looking at some of the practices that those producers use.

Said results would be used to then better inform both lawmakers and the public on how producers are growing food in the province.

Judson Christopherson, a graduate student with the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, details just what they're looking for.

"Producers will be asked to detail things such as chemical and fertilizer use, their crop types, seed varieties, and yields, amongst many other practices and metrics. Survey participants will report one parcel of land in two time periods. The first time period being 1991-1994, while the second is 2016-2019."

Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
