Fertilizer method’s link to emissions studied
Researchers say it’s best to avoid shallow-banding, but use an enhanced efficiency fertilizer if it can’t be avoided
A researcher says others studying greenhouse gas emissions aren’t considering how the loss of nitrogen into the atmosphere correlates with fertilizer application or if there is an impact to yield.
Precision 4R cuts farm greenhouse gas emissions
Lower areas in your field tend to emit more greenhouse gas, research shows that precision 4R nutrient stewardship practices can help mute the trend

Study finds Canadian crops to be low emitters
Canadian canola could be shipped to Europe 17 times and still produce fewer emissions than German rapeseed
Recent research has has concluded that Europeans could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from crop production if they imported peas, canola and wheat from Canada.
Trump administration set to abolish emissions rule for engines
Donald Trump’s administration announced late last month that it intends to remove all greenhouse gas emissions regulations on light, medium and heavy-duty on-highway vehicles.
Soil health skepticism prevalent
Survey finds that many farmers see it as a contemporary fad
For five to 10 years, soil scientists and the federal government have been selling “soil health” and promoting farm practices that improve soil health. However, many Prairie farmers aren’t buying it.
New Zealand startup promises methane vaccine for cattle
New Zealand company in running for investment in emission-reducing treatment for livestock
A New Zealand biotech startup says it has a vaccine that can dramatically lower methane emissions from livestock.
Unblocking the pathways to profits and sustainability
A Western Manitoba farmer’s PhD may help bridge the divide between farmers and the rest of society
Governments, farm organizations, food manufacturers, and researchers have described a seemingly impenetrable wall to productive discussions on sustainability in Prairie agriculture.
Rural solar development needs common sense
There’s no silver bullet for stopping the slow but steady onslaught of global warming.
Cutting the nitrous oxide emissions without cutting the crop
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer; new research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes
