📗Henry’s Handbook of Soil and Water is officially re-stocked and available for order on our website! Written by legendary Saskatchewan soil scientist Les Henry, this book has become a trusted reference for agronomists, farmers, and anyone passionate about understanding how soil and water shape crop production. It outlines the five soil-forming factors: climate, vegetation, parent material, topography, and time. Les Henry was a farmer and former professor and extension specialist at the University of Saskatchewan. His practical, common-sense approach to soil science resonated with farmers and agronomists alike. Before his passing, Henry transferred the copyright of Henry’s Handbook of Soil and Water to Cory Willness, CEO of Croptimistic Technology, ensuring the continued availability of this foundational resource.

Have to find the fence first before we send the 🐎 out on pasture here. It has melted here several times already. This part of the fence is in the area that drains the yardsite so thought best to clean it out! Naicam SK

Did you know? #swatmaps provide th optimization of rates for soil applied herbicides. 2 examples we conducted using #avadex. VR Granular was applied from 8lbs on low OM hills to 12.8lbs in high OM depressions. Another application was VR on/off liquid with 62% reduction in product

This was backed by #swatcam where actual wild oat populations were mapped - and to no surprise - they are prevalent in wet high OM areas and almost non-existent on hills. Satellite imagery was deemed useless - it doesn’t know what is crop or weeds!
