In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis and Jeff dive deep into one of Bourgault’s longest‑running research projects: Canola Seeding Rate Trials.

From early comparisons between singulation and volumetric metering to years of side‑by‑side testing at multiple seeding rates, Curtis and Jeff break down what the data shows—and how growers can apply these findings in real‑world conditions.

In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis sits down with Curtis Heinrichsen and Ken Sarauer to discuss the all-new ParaLink Dual Xtreme (PLDX) Opener—the world’s first 1:1 dual knife opener for unmatched depth control! Listen in as Ken shares his experience demoing this opener on his operation and provides insights into how he found the opener performed.

In this episode Curtis and Jeff dig into the multi-year deep phosphorus trials that started in 2023. From big canola responses in a dry year to surprising long-term benefits of broadcast phosphorus, explore what the data tells us about nutrient stratification and soil moisture dynamics.

We’re back for Season 3! Curtis & Jeff recap and discuss what worked—and what didn’t—in last year’s winter canola trials. From volunteer rye headaches to flea beetle battles and fertility insights. In addition, our agronomy program expands to Odessa, Saskatchewan, where we’re testing lentil production, phosphorus placement, seeding rates, and even fan speed impacts. Join us for practical takeaways, a few laughs, and a look at what’s next in Bourgault agronomy. 

In this episode of the Equipped Agronomy podcast, Curtis and Jeff discuss their plans and trials for the upcoming 2025 seeding season. Topics include wheat and canola trials, winter canola survival, stubble height impact, and lentil trials. They also highlight new farming technology. Tune in for valuable insights and practical tips!

Join Curtis  and Jeff on the Equipped Agronomy Podcast as they discuss the first year of their Soil Enhancement Trial. They explore the effectiveness of three granular products—Humalite, H-Start, and AnneMaxx Biome—on crop yield and soil health. Tune in for initial results, future plans, and insights into the cost and benefits of these products.

Curtis and Jeff explore the impact of different specialty phosphorus sources and placements on crop yields in the latest episode of the Equipped Agronomy Podcast. Discover practical tips, environmental considerations, and cost implications from their extensive field trials in St. Brieux, Saskatchewan. Whether you're an agronomy expert or just curious about crop nutrition, this episode offers valuable insights to enhance your farming practices.

Exploring the impact of opener tip sizes on seedbed utilization and seed safety in wheat and canola, Curtis and Jeff compare  2" and ¾" openers and tackle the question, "Does size matter?" in this episode of the Equipped Agronomy Podcast.

Trials referred to in this episode can be found at www.bourgault.com/agronomy, along with many more agronomical studies.

In this episode, Curtis and Jeff break down trial results focused on phosphorus placement at deeper depths in the soil profile during a separate pass.  They dive into how placing phosphorus deeper in the soil could affect nutrient uptake, discussing how results varied between fields and conditions, and why ongoing research is crucial to better understand how nutrients behave at those depths.
