Winter cold doesn’t stop all fertilizer emissions, new research shows
New research shows the Prairie deep freeze slows, but does not stop, nitrogen emissions
Fall fertilizer doesn’t emit nitrogen over winter, right? Wrong, according to new research: biological activity and nitrogen emissions slow, but don’t stop.

Nutrien misses quarterly profit estimates as potash prices plummet
Fertilizer demand expected to rise in Q4
Reuters — Nutrien fell short of analysts’ estimates for third-quarter profit on Wednesday, as lower potash prices weighed on the world’s biggest fertilizer producer. Potash prices have been falling after shipments from Belarus and Russia resumed.

Researchers call for more pea acres
Peas are a powerhouse. Not only do they sport a low carbon footprint and contain a high amount of protein, but they come with their own nitrogen. So why aren’t more acres planted? Why it matters: Peas have seen a resurgence in Manitoba with the entry of new processors in recent years. The biggest reason is risk of root
Wheat Growers take new shot at federal fertilizer policy
The federal government wants a 30 per cent reduction in emissions from fertilizer, but says it is voluntary
The Wheat Growers association says claims that the federal government is threatening to force a 30 per cent reduction in nitrogen fertilizer use, published in a newsletter aimed at consumers, was meant to prove a point. “We aren’t really exaggerating,” said Wheat Growers president Gunter Jochum. “I felt they were not exaggerating because of the government’s track record.” Why
Soil tests seek a non-chemical attraction
Researchers hope to hone in on biological soil testing when it comes to inoculating legumes
Manitoba expat Barney Geddes, an assistant professor with the microbiological sciences program at North Dakota State University, likes to tell health care researchers how important the development of nitrogen fertilizer was. In terms of human lives saved, it’s had a greater impact than all innovations produced by medical science put together. “It’s sort of entertaining,”
The net-zero movement is unstoppable, but farmers will adapt
Reducing emissions is possible; the key is persuading Ottawa to chart a sensible course, says farm leader
Glacier FarmMedia – Keep calm, stay flexible and farm on. These were the main messages from a panel on greenhouse gas emissions at the recent CrossRoads conference. Canada, and every member of the G7 and 120 other nations, has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, the manager of government and policy relations for
