Grain movement likely to be high on the list at APAS general meeting in Regina

 
Delegates at the APAS annual meeting will discuss grain movement and wildfire concerns at the group’s annual meeting in Regina which opens Tuesday.
 
APAS president Todd Lewis says railway service issues have been raised again this fall.
 
He says there have been rail car supply concerns in several parts of the province.
 
“Sadly, it’s an ongoing situation,” Lewis said. “And it will certainly be on the list for discussion again.”
 
Wildfire losses in western Saskatchewan will also be among the issues discussed by the estimated 100 delegates to the APAS annual meeting.

Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

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.
