The Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster focuses on key research

Results from eight research activities are included in the Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster (ICAC)  summary document.

The new report outlines the projects which range from soil health to herbicide resistance and climate change adaptation. 

Some of the other projects focused on the coordination of crop insects and disease monitoring, assessing and managing spray drift, developing a risk model for mitigating Fusarium head blight, development, and management of productive, resilient, and sustainable cropping.

The total value of research under the five-year Cluster was over $9 million,.

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) AgriScience Cluster program contributed $6.3 million, $1.6 million came from Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF), and $1.1 million from industry partners.

Video: How Does an Anhydrous Ammonia Applicator Work?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
