This past growing season was the inaugural year for Sask Wheat’s “On Farm Trial” program. Through this program, our goal is to have producer-led farm scale research on wheat-related topics. These results will provide localized data to help producers make decisions on their farms under their conditions and management practices.
This year we evaluated seeding rates in spring wheat. Ideal seeding rates can vary significantly and are dependent on many factors including management, variety, and environment. We wanted to see if we could fine-tune the general seeding rate recommendations to help producers maximize their yield, quality, and economic return.
Join us as we chat with Christiane Catellier, Research Associate with the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF), as we discuss our trial results, the importance of doing on-farm research, and how to produce meaningful results. Christiane provides some helpful tips for farmers and agronomists running trials on their farms.
