SIA Saskatoon Branch - Invasive species removal (Baby's Breath)
2024-08-01 17:00 - 19:00
SIA Saskatoon Branch is happy to partner with Meewasin Valley Authority for an Invasive species removal activity on Thursday, August 1 ,2024, at 5:00 pm.
Baby’s-breath is an invasive species that thrives in basic soil and full sunlight. A beautiful flower that is often used in decorative arrangements. Once Baby’s-breath has invaded your land it reduces native grasses and forages for wildlife. Once the seed of the Baby’s-breath starts to mature the plant breaks off and rolls like tumbleweed over long distances and can spread thousands of seeds per plant. This volunteer event is special because you get to work alongside our resource management team, with 20+ years’ experience working in the valley. They’ll share a ton of incredibly true facts about the area we live in while exploring one of our favorite spots on the river.
Date: Thursday, August 1, 2024

The 2025 Top Crop Summit – Expert insight to ace the season
In agriculture, learning never stops. Every growing season brings unique challenges with unpredictable weather and markets, as well as troublesome pests. With advancing technology and climate challenges, it’s more important than ever to stay up to date with the latest agriculture research.

The Top Crop Summit is a two-day event held on February 25-26 in Saskatoon that will feature sessions designed with Western Canadian farmers in mind. “The first day of the event will be a full day of sessions with lunch, snacks and networking,” Berger says. “It’s a great chance for farmers, agronomists, researchers and industry stakeholders to mingle and learn together.”
With a theme of soil and water for the second day, attendees can look forward to sessions on AI and soil, the foundation of soil fertility, potassium fertility in prairie soils and more. The second day of the summit includes a buffet breakfast and ends just after noon.
The summit will be packed with dynamic speakers and exciting sessions on waterhemp, wheat insect pests, perennializing marginal lands, cover crops and more. Ian Affleck will present the keynote address on day one – the future of gene editing. Felippe Karp will present the keynote address on day two, featuring information to demystify the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Canadian crop production systems.
