Inside this issue

Designing a soil-sampling program to use with different types of tillage and fertilizer placement systems can be challenging. Without careful planning to gather representative samples of the entire soil volume, growers may get skewed results. We spoke with five soil scientists and agronomists across Canada and the Northern Great Plains to get their take on this important issue. See story on p. 28.
