The general goal for producers often is to produce the highest returns on their crops, either through increasing yield or decreasing inputs.

Proper nutrition is essential for crop growth and production. Profit potential for farmers depends on producing enough crop per acre to keep

Foliar feeding involves the application of nutrients (through spraying) to plant leaves and stems, and their absorption at those sites.

On-farm soil nutrient budgeting and mapping, PCBFA identified 6 livestock and cropping operations across the Peace Country for the project.

Annual crops for forages can be used to provide an additional source of hay, silage or pasture when perennial forage crops are in short

Cover crops (CCs) and their mixtures (cocktail mixtures) are an important tool that producers can use to generate multiple benefits

Interest in the potential for a multispecies cover crop (CC) blend for silage, swath grazing and greenfeed has been growing amongst beef

For optimal growth, plants need a diversity of nutrients. Enhanced microbial activity in the soil will lead to healthier and more fertile so

A series of workshops on cover cropping put on by PCBFA has shown that the advantages of integrating cover cropping systems into the forage

Soil conservation, nutrient sequestration, weed suppression, improved soil health, quality feeds, among others, are reasons why cover crop

Cover crops are an important tool that farmers can use to generate benefits and services on the farm and for society, including improved
