In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis and Jeff sit down once again to dig into Year 2 of a multi‑year Soil Enhancement Trial.

They break down what worked, what didn’t, and explore why soil biology might play a bigger role in fertility strategies than many growers realize.

If you’re curious about soil health, fertilizer efficiency, or whether these soil‑enhancing products truly pay on the farm, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis talks with Jim Vannett, U.S. Territory Sales Manager and Operations Leader for Bourgault Industries, to unpack the key differences between Bourgault’s two coulter‑drill opener systems—the PLW™ (ParaLink Walking) and PLR™ (ParaLink Row).

From heavy clay to light sandy soils, they explore how opener design influences seed placement, power demand, residue handling, and furrow closure, and where each opener truly performs best.

In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis and Jeff break down three years of nitrogen trials in canola and wheat—comparing rates, forms, and placements. They explore why canola consistently responded to higher N, why wheat didn’t, and how organic matter and moisture complicate nitrogen planning. Practical insights on finding the real “sweet spot” for N rates, boosting protein, and making nitrogen dollars count.
