Happy World Soil Day! My research site was featured on AAFC's LinkedIn page today.

What causes yield variability within a field, and which factors are most significant? Our interview with Jay Whetter's Canola Watch podcast on Field Variability. @Lockeal @CanolaWatch Thank you Jay for this opportunity to share our research! Link: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/ep-…

New paper with US colleagues: Agroecosystem modeling of reactive nitrogen emissions from U.S. agricultural soils with carbon amendments link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our moisture probes with @Lockeal were installed this week into VR strips nested in the field production zones at our Living Labs research field

@YvonneLawley_UM @MBAgDays See you there! I also have a talk scheduled at 3.15 pm if you are interested agdays.com/session/how-do…

Let's talk about cover crops @MBAgDays on Jan 23 in Brandon.

Other potential Living Labs sites and AAFC Living Labs team

Today with colleagues from AAFC we were choosing sites for our Living Labs project.

@steffilazerte @rOpenSci What kind of change did they make? Is it re format or new variables?

Unfortunately the data format for historical weather from ECCC changed yesterday (two days after I submitted the new version of weathercan to CRAN, *face palm*). Hold tight while I make a tweak to the @rOpenSci #rstats weathercan package to address this!

If you are growing cover crops in Manitoba, I want to know! We are launching a 3 year survey to get some real numbers on adoption here in Manitoba. DM, email, call Retweets welcome. #prairiecovercrops

Inspiring and successful visit to Ecole Harrison school to educate kids about agriculture and farming as part of the Agriculture in the Classroom Program. More info aitc.mb.ua

Attended very informative and useful hands on training on ArcAPEX model at Blackland Research & Extension Center in Temple, TX.

This week is National Soil Conservation Week. Our agri-food sector relies on soil, but Canada’s amount of healthy, usable soil continues to decline. We need to make soil health a priority. #CdnSoilWeek19 #AgandRuralMatters #SoilHealth

Interested in geomorphology, soil science and/or hydrology? I am looking to hire a @BrandonUni undergraduate student to help with with both lab and field work. Send me a message or an email for more details. @BU_Geog

Judging at the Western Manitoba Science Fair today

Thank you Brandon Research and Development Centre for the tour, and sharing the innovative research that takes place here! #MBPoli

Report Concludes Evidence of Humans Causing Global Warming Hits 'Gold Standard' - Meaning There Is Only a One-in-a-Million Chance That Similar Data Would Appear If There Were No Warming: Reuters, by Alister Doyle, February 25, 2019 reuters.com/article/us-cli…

Learn about soil carbon at the 'Sustainability of Canadian Agriculture' workshop, March 13/14, in Calgary. #agriculture #sustainability #Canada eventbrite.ca/e/sustainabili…

Our birthday greetings to Vasily Vasilyevich Dokuchayev (1846)! He was one of the first to study how soils form and classify them. Ready for more? Inform your soil journey here: soils.org/discover-soils…

Got down to 10 F (-12 C) again, radishes should be done, but the other 11 species will carry on. Overseeded into corn in early July, germinated with rain in late July. Data shows little nitrate escaping over winter compared to October-planted covers. Red clover will be a bonus.
