How long do you think the impact of tillage erosion lasts? A few years? A decade? Try several decades! Work out of Manitoba is assessing how conservation tillage adds back what tillage erosion takes away, but the preliminary findings are that tillage erosion is very hard to reverse.
That’s part of this episode of Wheat Pete’s Word, where host Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson tackles the top agronomic questions and observations of the week. Also included in this podcast: a deeper dive into phosphorus question, more about early sulphur, and the importance of counting wheat heads.

Summary
- Meeting season is underway!
- Check out Kadylack Farms’ shop. It’s incredible. Check it out on youtube, here!
- Agronomic Monday on RealAg Radio talked about glyphosate: Listen here
- What a farmer wants you to know about food
- Injecting dry poultry manure — ammonia and phosphorus management
- Powdery mildew control with light?
- Sugar beet acres may go down by 50 per cent in 2025. Disease is one of the reasons
- Wheat time! Eric Watson’s current wheat crop, 800 heads per square metre
- Not a record wheat crop in Ontario, but a healthy number of acres
- New South Wales in Australia, hard white winter wheat for Asian noodles, but got rain, rain, rain
- Phosphorus. First, a correction. MAP is P2O5 not actual phosphorus (soil test)
- Build, maintain, draw down: phosphorus needs more discussion
- Sulphur sources, N in cold climates, and more for soybeans and nodulation
- Earlier app of S on wheat? Might be worth a trial
- Tillage talk
- Soil conservation should be a focus
- Dr. David Lobb just wrapped up some research that’s worth a look
- Tillage erosion impact lasts a really, really long time
- Observations of added N, no N, and perennial clover. Carbon to N ratio strikes again
- Microbes need the right ratio
