Seeding 96% Complete Across Prairies

According to G-3 Canada, seeding progress across the prairies is at 96 per cent complete.
 
Weather and Crop Specialist Bruce Burnett says the rainy weather caused some delays.
 
He says for the most part, the areas farthest behind were quite dry.
 
"We're now into finishing off the later seeded crops, oats, barley and those types as well as receiving those canola crops hurt by the frost earlier this month."

Soil Improvements for Maximum Microbial Activity

Video: Soil Improvements for Maximum Microbial Activity

What’s really happening beneath the soil surface?

If we want to grow nutrient-dense, resilient crops, we need to build an environment where soil microbes thrive. That means:

Keeping soil covered—no more bare, sunbaked fields!

Breaking compaction layers so roots can reach deeper moisture and nutrients

Feeding microbes with cover crops and living root exudates

Fix the soil environment, and the microbes will do the rest.
