Dr. Jeff Schoenau isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. He owns and operates a grain farm near Central Butte, Saskatchewan and has been working as a soil scientist for the University of Saskatchewan (USask) for 33 years.
In a paper published today in the Canadian Journal of Soil Science, PhD student Noabur Rahman, Schoenau and colleagues Drs. Derek Peak and Ryan Hangs collected and analyzed soil from across the prairies including samples from Schoenau’s own farm.

Ground-breaking soil research could help increase crop yields and protect the environment

The study, which offers recommendations for improving fertilizer use and increasing crop yields for farmers, builds on previous studies Schoenau and Peak have completed as collaborators at Canadian Light Source (CLS) at USask.
Schoenau considers some of their work done on the HXMA and VLS-PGM beamlines at the CLS to be ground-breaking.
“There are not a lot of folks that have used these techniques to study the fate of some of these nutrient elements in the soil environment as applied in the field,” said Schoenau.
Using chemical analysis and synchrotron techniques, the team looked at soil micronutrients in soil samples from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba. ....

University of Regina researchers awarded nearly $600,000 through Agriculture Development Fund

Sulfate concentrations in agricultural dugouts and ponds are currently one of the largest threats to water quality for cattle health on the prairies. In an examination of 100 dugouts across Saskatchewan over three years, Finlay found that one-quarter of the sites were of poor quality for cattle access, and nearly 10 per cent of dugouts were unsuitable.
The sulfate concentrations in water are the result of many interacting regional and local factors. Across landscapes, sulfate levels in water are controlled by the surrounding geology that supplies the sulfur, and the patterns of water movement that potentially delivers it into a body of water. ....
