At the same time, hybrid canola seed size has been increasing, resulting in the possibility of inadequate stand establishment. To better understand the interaction of seed size and seeding rate, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research scientist Neil Harker at the Lacombe Research Centre led a study comparing two seeding rates with four canola seed sizes. >> Learn More…<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320ec6…> [OYF]<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320ac5…> [OYF]<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320ac5…> Event Calendar SIA 2016 Annual Convention <http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320836…> April 6-7, 2016 Location: Swift Current, Sask. >> More Info<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320836…> Hemp - It's Growing!<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320c3c…> April 6, 2016 Location: Vegreville, Alta. >> More Info<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx320c3c…> Murray Hartman’s science-O-rama<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx32074c…> April 6, 2016 Location: Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel, Edmonton. >> More Info<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/click?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx32074c…> Privacy<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/clickp?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx31c4a…> | Unsubscribe<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/clickp?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx31c44…> Copyright ©2016 Annex Business Media<http://digital.annexbusinessmedia.com/trk/clickp?ref=zupdbivdg_2-74efx31c44…> P.O.
