University of Manitoba: Natural Systems Agriculture: Low-Input Cereal Crops in No-Till



I was googling for information on fertilizing oats and googled up this piece. The main jist (I don't know if jist is a word?) of the article is using rotations and crop competition to reduce input costs.
I'm big on reduced input especially herbicides. Have a look at the article.
Scott works for MAFRI (that's really the Manitoba Dept of AG) as a Diversification Specialist. I don't remember that being mentioned in the article (?) He is well respected in the area and if you get a chance to attend one of his field days or hear him speak, do so. It is well worth the time.
