[Podcast] Norbert Beaujot on No-Till Saskatchewan and Dot Technologies

For this episode of the No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators podcast, brought to you by The Andersons, we'll discusses the intersection of no-till and technology in Saskatchewan, Canada. The need for autonomy arose in Saskatchewan because of the shortage of available labor, says Norbert Beaujot. Farms — like his 3,000-acre no-till mixed crop and testing operation — were getting larger, but labor remained scarce.

MSU Researchers: Ag Carbon Higher Than Expected, Only Partial Fix For Climate

By Brian O'Connor posted on May 31, 2022 | Posted in Soil Health
Researchers G. Phillip Robertson, Stephen K. Hamilton, Keith Paustian, and Pete Smith wrote that a high degree of certainty exists that land-based carbon storage can accomplish about 2.5 gigatons of CO2 equivalent (Gt CO2e) per year after wider adaptation of electric vehicles, with a maximum capacity of about 110 Gt CO2e. That estimate is near the mid-point of the capacity
