This three-episode feature podcast series about winter cereals comes after Sask Wheat officially amalgamated with the Saskatchewan Winter Cereal Development Commission on Aug. 1, 2023.
Sask Wheat took over the research, advocacy, market development, grower relations and communications for winter wheat, fall rye, and winter triticale, which gave us the perfect opportunity to highlight these crops.
In these episodes, Wheat Profit Host and Agronomy Extension Specialist with Sask Wheat, Carmen Prang, will interview experts on each crop to provide producers with everything they need to know. This includes basic agronomy knowledge, advantages and challenges to growing these crops and so much more!
EPISODE TWO:
For the second episode, join Carmen as she discusses the most common winter cereal crop, winter wheat. Listeners can expect to hear about basic winter wheat agronomy such as fertility, disease, harvest and more. This episode also covers the challenges and advantages, as well as tips and tricks to adding this crop into a producer's rotation.
Carmen's guest for this episode is Senior Research Scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) Lethbridge Research Centre in Lethbridge, Alta., Dr. Brian Beres! Dr. Beres also serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alberta. Listeners might recognize Dr. Beres from his work on ultra-early seeding which he discussed on a previous Wheat Profit episode, The Research and Agronomics of Ultra-Early Seeding, or from his extensive work in winter wheat agronomy.
Dr. Beres grew up on a farm east of Lethbridge, Alta. before he obtained Bachelor’s degrees in Education and Geography. This lead him to start his career as a teacher in southern Alberta. However, the allure of scientific research, which he was exposed to as a summer student at AAFC, inspired him to change career paths whereupon he earned a Master’s and Ph.D. from the University of Alberta.
