Our goal with this newsletter is simple; to provide Alberta farmers and agronomists with timely, relevant and valuable agronomic knowledge sourced from science-based research and projects funded by the Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions. You will also find a few opinion articles addressing management perspectives and other agronomic pointers to help you make informed agronomic decisions.
This monthly newsletter will include written articles, audio interviews and videos. Additionally, impromptu information may be released to address timely agronomic problems in Alberta. We hope the agronomic information from these newsletters brings value to your farm. Have agronomy questions? Feel free to reach out by emailing me at the address below.
Cheers!

To learn more about The Growing Point and our agronomy program
Seeding is in full force in many parts of the province, marking the official start of the growing season. In this issue of The Growing Point, we will cover safe rates for seed-placed fertilizer, then dive deeper into N cycle and how to mitigate N loss. With the seeds in the ground, we will start sharing early-season scouting tips, the pests to keep an eye on throughout the growing season and how to manage them.
