In this week’s edition of Growing Possibilities, we’re looking at an important question many growers ask once the drills are parked: Is there anything I can still do to help this crop reach its full potential? While seeding may be complete, crop nutrition doesn’t stop once the seed is in the ground. In fact, as […]

In this week’s edition of Growing Possibilities, the focus shifts to one of the biggest questions many growers face once the planter is parked: “Did I do enough?” With fluctuating fertilizer markets, uneven spring conditions, and increasing pressure to maximize every acre, nutrient efficiency remains top of mind across the Prairies and beyond. While nitrogen […]

In this week’s edition of Growing Possibilities, a common question continues to surface as the season progresses: “Is it too late to make a difference?” When it comes to nutrient efficiency, the answer is often no. While early-season decisions lay the foundation, crop development and nutrient demand continue well into the growing season. That means […]

Thinking About More Soybean Acres? Here’s What Gets Overlooked With nitrogen fertilizer prices continuing to pressure margins, many growers across Western Canada are looking at soybeans as a way to reduce input costs. On paper, it makes sense as soybeans fix their own nitrogen, lowering reliance on purchased fertilizer and helping stabilize budgets in volatile […]

Fertilizer markets continue to present challenges for growers heading into the growing season. Price volatility, shifting global supply dynamics, and ongoing uncertainty have made nutrient planning more complex than in years past. As a result, maximizing the efficiency of applied nutrients has become an increasingly important focus in modern crop production. In this week’s edition […]

Fertilizer markets have experienced significant volatility in recent years, creating uncertainty for growers planning their fertility programs. A combination of geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and fluctuating energy prices has influenced both nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer availability worldwide. As a result, improving nutrient efficiency and ensuring crops can access the nutrients already present in the […]

Fertilizer is one of the largest line items on most farm budgets. Yet a significant portion of applied nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) never actually makes it into the plant. Some is lost to the environment. Some becomes chemically unavailable in the soil. And some depends entirely on soil biology to be accessed by roots. […]

Fertilizer is one of the largest line items on a grower’s budget, but it can also be one of the least efficient. Every season, significant dollars are spent on nitrogen and phosphorus that never actually make it into the plant. Some nitrogen (N) never gets fixed. Some phosphorus (P) never leaves the soil. Yet both […]

As spring seeding approaches, early-season decisions can have a lasting impact on crop performance. While seed selection, fertility and crop protection often take priority, inoculants are another input worth considering. Seed inoculants for soybeans and pulses are biological tools that help plants access nitrogen through natural nitrogen fixation while supporting early root development. When used […]

With the beginning of a new year, it’s a good time to start at the basics. In this week’s edition of Grow Possibilities, we discuss and learn about inoculants and why they are important. Inoculants are one of the most exciting tools in modern agriculture and sustainable farming. In plain terms, inoculants are beneficial microorganisms […]
