G3 Terminal wins CP's "2022 Elevator of the Year" award

Nov 10, 2022

The G3 facility at Carmangay (Alberta) received the honor for inbound grain for 2021- 2022.

Last year when animal feed supplies were an issue in Western Canada due to the drought G3 Carmangay stepped up to help.

The site which normally receives grain by truck and loads it onto trains, did the reverse to fill this critical need.

G3 CEO Don Chapman says livestock producers counted on us to supply animal feed during a difficult year, and we delivered.

Joan Hardy, CP Vice President Sales and Marketing Grain and Fertilizers says they helped to find innovative solutions when the Western Canadian grain crop was the smallest in over a decade due to severe drought throughout the Prairies.

CP presents the award annually to grain elevators that achieve high volumes from a single loading point while consistently demonstrating efficient railcar loading and a strong commitment to safety.

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.
