Your fields, your farm: Getting the most from on-farm trials
Speaker: Megan Bourns, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers
Ever wondered if you can reduce your seeding rate without sacrificing yield? Or maybe if that product your sales agronomist keeps pushing actually works? What about if fungicide application pays? Whether it’s these or other questions, on-farm trials are a powerful tool to inform your production decisions. This presentation will cover the need-to-know tips and tricks for conducting successful on-farm trials, bringing the power of research right to your field.
