High Crop Yield Will Mean Low Soil Fertility Later

 
A high crop yield will mean high nutrient removal from the soil.
 
Dr Jeff Schoenau, a professor of soil fertility in the Department of Soil Science at the University of Saskatchewan, says farmers will need to remember that in the spring. He notes farmers will want to think about doing a nutrient assessment in the fall.
 
"Every field is different, so it's important to make those kinds of assessments in different fields and different kinds of crop stubble on your farm. It's important to start to plan, and start to think about what the storage soil moisture situation will be in the fall."

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
