Innovation Acres is a holistic view of leading farm solutions that Nutrien Ag Solutions provides to growers in Canada. The site showcases Nutrien Ag Solution’s full digital catalog – from variable rate technology, data aggregation, and live scouting/field tracking software using our Echelon and FARMSMART platforms, to the latest and leading Proven Seed varieties and multi-year crop protection from our proprietary Loveland Products.
The four 10-acre fields utilize Proven Seed LibertyLink Canola pre-commercial, Proven Altorado Barley, Proven CWRS AAC Broadacres, and Proven Westlin 60 Flax. These were matched with Nutrien’s MAP+MST fertilizer and enhanced by Atlas XC from Loveland Products – all following the 4R Nutrient Stewardship best practices, and keeping in compliance with the Carbon Pilot program enrollment – carbon reduction plan.
The goal is to give Discovery Farm and growers an opportunity to see and touch leading-the-field seed genetics, crop and fertility options and a digital experience. The scale is closer to a real farm situation and shows how making timely agronomic and economic decisions can maximize every acre.
The Field Reports are an annual overview of all activities that happened at Discovery Farm Langham during the growing season including demonstration research, events and knowledge transfer.
