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.

We had a busy week! Tuesday, NBSCIA hosted a dragline field day at Laforge Bioenvironmental Ltd. in Saint André. Jaques Laforge took us on a tour of the farm's two biodigesters before heading out to the field to see a demo of their new dragline system. The dragline system allows for minimal compaction and earlier entry onto fields in the spring to spread the digestate produced on farm.
Wednesday, Kings county held their annual tillage day in Studholm Parish. Fundy Ag and Hall Bros. brought machinery to demo and display.
Thank you again to all those who attended these field days, the host farms as well as the sponsors who made the events successful.
Nous avons eu une semaine chargée! Mardi, NBSCIA a organisé une journée de dragline à Laforge Bioenvironmental Ltd. à Saint André. Jaques Laforge nous a fait visiter les deux biodigesteurs de la ferme avant de se rendre sur le terrain pour voir une démonstration de leur nouveau système de dragline. Le système de dragline permet un compactage minimal et une entrée plus précoce dans les champs au printemps pour répandre le digestat produit à la ferme.
Mercredi, le comté de Kings a tenu sa journée annuelle de travail du sol à Studholm Parish. Fundy Ag et Hall Bros. ont présenté des machines pour démonstration et exposition.
Merci encore à tous ceux qui ont participé à ces journées de terrain, aux fermes hôtes ainsi qu’aux sponsors qui ont fait ces événements un succès.
