carbon dioxide/toxic gases

emissions

17. Carbon Credits
 Reduced or zero tillage practices
generate carbon credits

through photosynthesis
 Carbon credits provide added income
 Farmers
who practice no till will receive
more credits than those who practice
minimum till

18. Carbon Credits
 After 15 to 30 years it is estimated that the
soil will reach its capacity to hold carbon
in a stable state
 Lakeland College redeemed carbon
credits this year

expected to rise due in part to a tight
Canadian and world supply

Uptake = Total Nutrient taken up by crop to
grow and develop
Removal = Nutrient removed in harvested
portion of the crop
The guidelines in this chart are estimates and based on typical nutrient concentrations and yields for
good growing conditions in western Canada

105. Fertilizer Blend Agronomics
 Organic Matter – 7lb of N per 1% of O.M will
be released
 Nitrogen – Multiply by 0.7 (to account for
losses)
 Potassium ideally above 150ppm (300lb/ac)
 High Aluminum (600+ppm) can tie up
Phosphorus
 Sulphur levels can not be trusted as the
nutrient is so mobile
 Sulphur N:S Ratio should be 5:1 in blends
 Copper Levels should be above 1ppm
 Boron Levels should be above 1ppm

107. Law of Minimum - Liebig
 The law of
minimum
developed by
Liebig in 1862
states that crop
production can
be no higher than
that allowed by
the most limiting
plant growth
factor

108. Variable Rate
Technology
Allied 01

109. Variable Rate Technology
 Variable
Rate Technology or VRT
combines GPS, electronic controllers and
geographical information system in the
cab to change the rate of any product
being applied in the field

150. Flax Production Overview
 Grown on LC14
 Variety – Hanley
 Target of 30 bu/ac
 Fertilizer
 45-20-0-5
 Herbicide – Pre seed
 Cleanstart
 Herbicide – In crop
 FlaxMax

 Headline
 Desiccant
 Reglone

151.  Why we did not choose to grow flax
 competition for acres
 had a large silage commitment with
livestock SMF (100 acres more than
originally expected)
 not a good fit in rotation
–Not ideal after canola, as it has
allelopathic residues
