Book excerpt: The project described in this report was the first part of a study designed to address soil fertility management & weed management priorities in organic agriculture. The project first involved a survey of 46 organic producers with 84 fields in Saskatchewan to identify & characterize current farm practices used for soil fertility & weed management. Survey results are presented & discussed with regard to commodities produced, type of green manure crop used, and respondents' use of such practices as application of soil amendments and crop rotation. The project also carried out soil tests & weed surveys on the same organically managed fields identified in the survey. Results are presented & discussed regarding soil nutrient levels, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter content, and relative abundance of weed species. Other project activities reviewed in the report include the establishment of a research advisory committee, identification of organic farms suitable for on-farm research projects, and conducting research workshops.

Download or read book Saskatchewan Agriculture written by Brian Mlazgar and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this province known as "the bread basket of the world," agriculture is the culture which for over a century has provided the context for life in Saskatchewan. In this volume are over 200 biographies of men and women who have made significant contributions to the field of agriculture in Saskatchewan. Farmers and ranchers; researchers, teachers, and inventors; leaders in 4-H and the cooperative movement; home economists and agriculture extension workers; journalists, politicians, and activists--whatever the individual endeavour, all worked with the goal of improving farming, and ultimately, improving the lives of those who farmed. The common denominator here is the concern for the good of the community, whether local, national, or international, a concern that has come to characterize the province itself.
