Manitoba Canola Growers launched a canola on-farm research program in 2022 to help farmers across the province fill the gap between traditional research results and the farm level experience. The program aims to provide applied, transferable research results to farmers to allow for the adoption of new and improved production practices by evaluating performance across a wide range of growing regions and farm operations in Manitoba.
Program Goals:
- Test new and improved applied production practices on a wide range of locations and environmental conditions across Manitoba to help better understand the probability of response and the economic impacts.
- Tackle research questions that cannot fully be evaluated in small plot and greenhouse research, such as precision ag methods and equipment optimization.
- Collaborate with research partners to ensure meaningful interpretation of on-farm trial results.
- Bridge the gap between traditional research results and on-farm adoption of new and improved production practices.
2025 Agronomic Partners:
- Antara Agronomy Service Ltd.
- Tone Ag Consulting Ltd.
- New Era Ag Research
- 360 Ag Consulting
