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.

Last Friday, the Northeast Soil and Crop Club toured Schenkels Farms in Rogersville, featuring many demos including drone cover crop seeding, no-till winter wheat seeding, and a precision fertilizer spreader. There were great discussions on wildlife control fences and methods, as well as managing inputs and rotation. Thanks to all who were able to attend, and to sponsors Green Diamond Equipment Ltd. and Bayview Kubota for their support!

It's been a busy couple weeks for field days for NBSCIA! Moncton's local club had two farm tours hosted by president John Bos and Calvin Hicks, topped off by a corn boil with corn from Michaud Farms. Carleton's local club had a full day as well, observing Andrews annual no till forage site, pasture varieties of corn and grazing wheels, along with a BBQ supper. Special thanks to Carleton hosts Villeneuve Family Farm and John Best.
Join the Northeast club for their local field day in Rogersville tomorrow from 10-2, and Kings County field day Oct 7th, at Lonsview Farm in Sussex

Ces deux dernière semaines ont été bien remplies avec les journées champêtres de l'AASCNB ! Le club local de Moncton a organisé deux visites de fermes dirigées par le président John Bos et Calvin Hicks, puis a clôturé la journée par un repas de maïs bouilli provenant de la ferme Michaud. Le club local de Carleton a également passé une journée bien pleine, avec la visite du site annuel de culture fourragère sans labour d’Andrews, la découverte de variétés de maïs de pâturage et de roues de pâturage, ainsi qu’un dîner barbecue. Un grand merci aux hôtes de Carleton, la ferme familiale Villeneuve et John Best.
