5 agronomy priorities – with “catchy slogans”
The CCC agronomy team consulted the industry and have developed five agronomic priorities to help reach the goals of 52 bu./ac. average yield and 26 million tonnes of total Canadian canola production by 2025. The Canola Watch editor then went rogue and created some “catchy slogans” (his words) to help with promotion. Please, please send us your creative improvements.
The real agronomy priorities are in bold with the editor’s slogan in quotations:
- Use 4R Nutrient Management when making fertilizer decisions. “4R or 4 aren’t – Which R you?”
- Choose the best seed traits for each field. “No more seeds of discontent.”
- Achieve a uniform 5 to 8 plants per square foot. “Be dense!”
- Identify and manage the top yield robbers in each field. “‘I don’t scout, I just spray,’ says Karen, the 1980s farmer.”
- Harvest all seeds and deliver them at No.1 grade. “Every seed is sacred.”
