• Examples: 
    • "I would like to incorporate more legumes and crop diversity on the farm but can’t push my rotation with peas any harder. Not many other viable legume or specialty crops to consider that would work here in the parkland."

      "I am minimum till on most crops but still want corn and edible beans in my rotation to be profitable. I don’t yet have a good method of reducing tillage with those crops."

      "I wish I could find more manure to apply but there are not many available supplies near me. I have no interest in livestock myself. Could green manures or intercrop plan come anywhere close to improving soil quality and not cost me an arm and a leg."

      "My current system is low disturbance and I am getting a bunch of Kochia weed pressure that is now almost unmanageable. I might have to till more than I wanted to."

      "Tempted to try strip tillage for soybeans but don’t grow corn. Not sure it’s worth the equipment investment."

      "I would like my soil organic matter level to go up. I am in dryland territory and have been direct seeding for 25 years. Feels like we have plateaued and I am not sure what to do next?"

    • About The Network! 
    • The objective of the soil health network is to encourage and enable practical incremental improvements in soil health practices best suited to the unique circumstances of each farm operation.


      The Soil Health Network is led by Assiniboine College, generously funded by the Weston Family Foundation and supported by many western Canadian collaborative partners. The network currently offers:

      • Peer-to-peer learning: In-person farm groups connecting to refine practices
      • Real voices: Podcasts featuring growers and thinkers with diverse perspectives
      • Practical tools: An online hub filled with farm focused resources
      • Actionable intel: A way for service providers and researchers to respond to actual farm needs


      Your input helps us improve and enhance these producer focused resources! Thank you.
