Livestock show returns to Regina

Canadian Western Agribition returns for its 51st edition starting on Monday.

Known primarily as a livestock event, Agribition also boasts rodeo performances, cabarets, agri-education, and a trade show.

This will be the first Agribition for the new CEO Shaun Kindopp. He was appointed to the position last August. He was busy walking through the facilities on Friday.

“As of 3:00 p.m. today people will be getting ready to move in and have their stalls set up. So, it’s exciting as people start getting set up here,” Kindopp said. “Livestock entries this year are fantastic. We’re really comparable to the 2019 numbers, which is fantastic coming out of the pandemic that we can remain at those levels.”

Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
