Safety protocols for technology on the farm deserve the same amount of attention as the safety protocols you have in place for operating farm machinery. Information in this technology footprint is vast and growing. Private details, such as banking and financial information and employees’ personal details, are examples of digital farm data that are crucial to running your operation and are meant to be accessible to a select few. As the use of technology on the farm increases, the amount of information grows. Malicious software, called malware, can infiltrate your computer or smartphone through viruses or spyware, damaging files and stealing information. Sometimes, those behind the infiltration will lock owners out of the computer, encrypt files and hold access for ransom. Cyber defence experts say farms, like many small and medium-sized businesses that use devices such as mobile phones and laptops for both personal and business purposes, can also be targets. Here are some steps to t
RDAR, a leader in results-driven agriculture research in Canada, advises that intake for the 2026 On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) remains paused while applications are under review. Applicants will be notified as soon as decisions are made to approve or decline their applications. Producer response to this year’s intake has been exceptionally strong. RDAR has received more than 900 applications requesting over $21.2 million, far exceeding the $17.2 million available. Assessments are underway to determine which applications can be supported under program requirements and available funding. “The level of interest in OFCAF reflects Alberta producers’ strong commitment to practices that improve resilience, productivity, and environmental outcomes,” said RDAR CEO Dr. Mark Redmond. “Given the volume of applications, we are taking the time needed to complete a fair and disciplined assessment process.” Assessment Underway RDAR is reviewing submitted applications against program criteri
Is this June going to be a tough month for soybeans? In this part of the world, June usually challenges our crop but we’ve had a run of warm weather that makes it feel like we’re in North Carolina. So far, provided the crop got off to a good start, crop development has been rapid. But things change in a hurry and crop yellowing can will likely occur along with periods of slow or stunted plant growth. What’s normal and transitory and what should we worry about? Let’s look at a few issues. The Period of N Starvation – Often Forgotten All soybean plants, to a greater or lesser extent, go through a period of nitrogen starvation early in their development. This occurs at the point where the nutrition within the cotyledons, that fueled the plant up until that point, is running out and future growth will depend on the plant’s ability supply itself with nitrogen via nitrogen fixation. What is often forgotten is that nodule formation and the start up of Nitrogen (N) fixation demands a lot of
