The Growing Point

Our goal with this newsletter is simple; to provide Alberta farmers and agronomists with timely, relevant and valuable agronomic knowledge sourced from science-based research and projects funded by Alberta Grains. You will also find a few opinion articles addressing management perspectives and other agronomic pointers to help you make informed agronomic decisions.

This monthly newsletter will include written articles, audio interviews and videos. Additionally, impromptu information may be released to address timely agronomic problems in Alberta. We hope the agronomic information from these newsletters brings value to your farm.

June 2026

A much-welcomed rain in early June has brought some relief to much of the province. The change in moisture conditions raises considerations on top-dressing nitrogen, weed control and adjustments in many agronomic decisions. In this issue of The Growing Point, we provide considerations on making the most out of top-dress nitrogen, share tips on doing cereal plant counts and helpful resources. for crop inputs. 

Besides the resources, we are excited to welcome the Blue Book App, a handy tool to conveniently look up pest control products during the busy growing season. 

We look forward to seeing you this summer at field events!
