b'Ground TruthJason Lenz has seen the benefits of field scale research. In 2021, he conducted a plant growth regulator trial on malting barley at his Bentley, Alta., farm, northwest of Red Deer. However, he was hailed out in late July. In 2022, the weather co-operated, and he tested out a variety of nitrogen rates on another plot of malting barley with a check amount of 65 pounds per acre and three increasingly higher rates. He says his goal was to discover what the variety could handle.Thats part of Plot2Farm, to push the limits on some of these varieties, says Lenz, Alberta Wheat Commissions vice-chair. A well-designed program has that type of protocol in it. Rather than just doing a side-by-side rate, lets push it really hard and see what the results are.The trial itself produced 35 acres of useable material and Lenz was able to have his results analyzed in short order. He says whether the data produces the results hes hoping or not its all valuable in the end stillbut he was happy to see results independently corroborate that he was on the right path with his practices.It confirmed our nutrient program that we run on our farm, as far as all the soil testing that were doing and the prescriptions that were doing for nitrogen, our check rate basically confirmedJason Lenz, a farmer in Bentley, Alta., sees the benefits of the Plot2Farm program. that were pretty much bang on, he says.
