New Brunswick Soil & Crop Improvement Association
The soil and crop movement in New Brunswick began in 1977 through the formation of several local associations. The number of locals grew, and a provincial board comprised of two directors from each local was established -- New Brunswick Soil and Crop Improvement Association.
We have eight active locals: Northeast (CCNE), Northshore (Bathurst), Moncton, Chignecto (Sackville), Kings County, Central (Fredericton), Northwest (Edmundston) and Carleton County. Directors at both the local and provincial levels are volunteers. Annual membership fees are set by the provincial board with a portion remitted to the locals.

Huge shout out to Atlantic Grains Council and all the other provincial partners for teaming up to bring forage variety trials back to the Maritimes!Grass plots are starting to take off at the NB site. The dead plot was Italian Ryegrass planted as a winter hardiness check. These plots are taken care of by Jason Wells of NBDAAF and are located in Sussex, NB. Many thanks to Frank and Alex Jopp for hosting these plots as well as NBSCIA for their involvement.
We're hiring! Come join the team at NBSCIA and join a provincial network of Agricultural Professionals enhancing soil and crop sustainability.
