Researchers at the Chinook Applied Research Association’s Soil Health Lab have adapted a soil health assessment from Cornell University to evaluate Alberta soils
They can boost harvest efficiencies, but also ramp up risk of serious soil compaction. Here are some tips to reduce that risk
Up to 17 per cent of agricultural land at risk
After years of trials, Kyle Heggie thinks his system is crop-ready
Liming may be an expensive option — but it’s the only proven method to raise soil pH
Research suggests this important nutrient hangs around a lot longer than farmers think
The pH scale is exponential, so small changes in pH mean big shifts in acidity or alkalinity
A variety of organizations have developed programs that allow producers to learn more about taking care of their soil
Changes in cropping practices over time have significantly improved soil quality
Economic and practical barriers exist when adopting these practices at scale
