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.

You may be wondering, looking back on a summer with persistent rain and cooler temperatures, how did this year's CHU and rainfall compare with last? Have a look at these maps comparing the data for the month of August. The maps on top are accumulated CHUs and on bottom are accumulated precipitation. The maps on the left are from this year and on the right are from 2022. Take note of the large difference in accumulated precipitation and CHU for the southern region of New Brunswick.
Peut-être que tu te demandes, avec le recul sur un été avec la pluie persistent et les plus frais températures, comment se compare l'UTM et la précipitation cet année avec la dernière? Regarder a ces cartes qui comparent les données pour le mois d'août. Les cartes sur dessus sont l'accumulation de l'UTM et du bas l'accumulation de précipitation. Les cartes sur la gauche sont de cette année et a droit, de 2022. Remarquer la grosse différence entre la précipitation et l'UTM accumule pour la région vers le sud de Nouveau Brunswick.
