Nitrogen in Manitoba Soils and Summerfallow Effects
Soil nitrogen is mostly tied up in organic matter and only slowly becomes plant available. Microorganisms release it during crop growth, but peak activity often misses crop demand, causing nitrogen starvation in Manitoba crops. Summerfallow stores nitrogen but risks leaching. Brandon measurements show losses over $10 per acre in bad years. Turner’s investigations at Brandon Experimental Farm seek efficient management of this natural resource.

Hutton seeks special acreage payments for farmers
Hon. George Hutton, Canada’s agriculture minister, announced he has pressed federal minister Douglas Harkness to extend acreage payments to farmers who held 1959-60 permit books or faced loss of crops due to hail floods or reduced yields.
