Crop Talk 2018 workshop set for March 22
A conference next week will examine issues local farmers will face as the spring season gets underway.
Crop Talk 2018 happens Thursday, March 22. The one-day event, held at the Prince Albert Exhibition Centre, includes discussions on drainage management, soil fertility in drained wetlands, clubroot, herbicide-resistant weeds, salinity and research into anhydrous ammonia agronomy.
Langham-area farmer Doyle Wiebe, the keynote speaker at the event, will talk about succession planning for farmers. Wiebe’s talk will also include information about using a joint venture structure to plan for succession.
Wiebe told paNOW his succession plan started with an ad for a farming partner on Kijiji. While he got some replies, none of them worked out. After connecting with a neighbour who had recently moved into the area with his young family, the two struck an agreement for a 10-year succession plan.
