Manitoba Soil Acidity Unchanged by Nitrogen Fertilizer
Soil scientists at the University of Manitoba report that nitrogen fertilizers do not alter soil acidity in Manitoba fields. Newdale soils remain neutral to slightly alkaline, making chemical neutralization uneconomical. In beef cattle news, purebred bulls at the Manitoba Beef Cattle Indexing Centre averaged 2.91 pounds daily gain across 154 bulls, with top stock averaging $1418.75 and four Chianina bulls reaching $2100.
