On this episode, Caitlin is joined by Dr. Caroline Halde, Professor of Sustainable Agriculture at Université Laval in Quebec. Caroline’s research team is doing some exciting work on cover crops, including working on solar corridor cropping systems, using 60” row spacing in corn to accommodate cover cropping in between the rows. The conversation explores the potential benefits of this system and some of the agronomic work that Caroline’s team and the local farmers they work with have done.

Weed control is one of the major management issues faced on the farm year after year, particularly with the potential for weeds to develop resistance to herbicides as well as the rising cost of those products. In this episode, Breanne Tidemann from AAFC in Alberta introduces some tools with the potential to be added to the integrated weed management toolbox in the form of harvest weed seed control.

This month, Caitlin is rereleasing a timely and relevant episode. Take a look back on episode six from season one, Corn Pests with Tracey Baute (originally aired in February 2022).
In this episode, Tracey Baute, Field Crops Entomologist with OMAFRA, joins me to discuss all things corn pests! We’ll tackle hard-hitting questions like “What’s going on with European corn borer?” “How will climate change affect corn pest populations?” “What’s the best strategy for selecting an effective Bt-trait package?” and more.
