Video: Top Crop Summit 2023 interview series – Getting the most out of crop rotations
By Top Crop Manager

Western Canadian crop rotations are often simple with a heavy dominance of canola and wheat. While many scientific studies show the benefits of diverse crop rotations, these are not always implemented on-farm due to: economic drivers and logistics of large farm operations. This presentation explores the trends in yield performance of different crop rotations and look at potential ways of diversifying rotations while acknowledging the logistical and economic constraints that farmers face.
