Enhancing Soil & Crop
Sustainability in New Brunswick

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!

Vendredi dernier, le club locale du nord-est a organisé une journée champêtre à Schenkels Farms à Rogersville, au cours de laquelle de nombreuses démonstrations, notamment des cultures de couverture semer à l'aide d'un drone, l'ensemencement de blé d'hiver en semis direct et l'utilisation d'un épandeur d'engrais de précision. Des discussions très enrichissantes ont eu lieu sur les clôtures et les méthodes de protection contre la faune sauvage, ainsi que sur la gestion des inputs et la rotation des cultures. Merci à tous ceux qui ont pu y participer, et les sponsors Green Diamond Equipment Ltd. et Bayview Kubota pour leur 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
