Research offers results that you can bet the farm on. But staying up-to-date on the latest research and wading through the technical jargon can be overwhelming. This is why SOILS AT GUELPH exists: to bridge gaps between researchers, farmers, crop advisors, industry members, and other stakeholders to help manage soil sustainably with science-backed decisions. In this feature, SOILS AT GUELPH’s Knowledge Mobilization Coordinator, Cameron Ogilvie, explains more about the initiative’s activities and provides a tour of a world-class soil health monitoring station near Elora, ON. Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle, an Agrometeorologist in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Guelph, and Gordon Bell, a graduate student in Claudia’s lab, also share findings from this experiment looking at the impact of crop rotations and cover crops on soil health, water quality, microbes, and greenhouse gasses.
