Scott Gillespie, independent agronomist with Plants Dig Soil Consulting, has been working at scaling up plot trials he first saw at Farming Smarter looking at planting pulses. In this episode of Pulse School, Gillespie joins Kara Oosterhuis to talk about those plots how this planting method works out for pulse crops.
Cover crops are becoming more and more popular as producers of all types are looking at how to preserve and help their soil. Potato growers have been using cover crops for years but with more varieties available, how worth it is it to put the extra work in to plant, maintain and harvest or till up a cover crop?
As a part of the Farmers for Climate Solutions learning event Scott Gillespie from Plants Dig Soil kicked things off with a conversation about the benefits of cover crops and the options available to farmers in southern Alberta.
