Canola Council Of Canada Sets Priorities For The Future

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is setting its targets for the future.
 
Looking ahead to the year 2025, the three main priorities for the CCC are sustainable and reliable supply, differentiated value, and stable and open trade.
 
Brian Innes is the vice president of government relations.
 
"The first [goal] is around sustainable supply," he said. "That involves getting our canola yields up to 52 bushels average per acre across western Canada by 2025. We're going to do that by increasing profitability, increasing sustainability, and also making sure that we reduce production risk for growers in the process."
 
Innes says a sustainable supply can be made possible by getting research that's on the bench, out into the field.

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
