PCBFA Seeks Project Site for 2025 Crop Variety Trials

The Peace Country Beef and Forage Association (PCBFA) is seeking project sites in Saddle Hills County for Crop Variety Trials in 2025.

Potential sites would ideally have the following assets, although any sites submitted will be considered:

• Uniform soil type, fertility, and adequate drainage 
• Six (6) Acres 
• Easily accessible and ideally along a major road
• Representative of typical Saddle Hills growing conditions
• No shading from trees or buildings

Ideally, cereals would be seeded onto a pea or canola stubble and peas and canola onto a cereal stubble. This means that ideal plots would have these in very close proximity or a perennial forage stand that was terminated in the full.

Other assets include:

• Clean, weed-free site, with past 3 years field history available
• Near to an ACIS weather station 
• Recent soil test results 
• Availability of producer support for spraying, discing, harrowing etc.

If you would like to offer a piece of land for trials, please complete and submit a PCBFA 2025 Project Site Application and someone from Saddle Hills County or PCBFA will be in touch.
