Douglas Ag Products Reveals New Website
Douglas Agricultural Services in Canada is launching a new website focused on sustainable farming and soil health solutions. The website features crop-speciic pages that speak directly to a grower as well as application and equipment pages explaining what soil fumigation is, the equipment used for application, and the different methods of application. The new site has updated stewardship and safety pages and an events page.
What’s Biting into Your Farm’s Economic and Environmental Sustainability?
Up to 58 per cent of all the food produced in Canada is lost or wasted each year. Think about that: nearly two of every three potatoes you grow get chucked. If you are like most farmers I know – strong and honorable people who are proud to be part of feeding the world – knowing that so much of your effort is wasted is nothing short of offensive.
