    Nutrient management plans

    I was at a Sask Institute of Agrologist (SIA) meeting last night and was disturbed to learn that AIC - the national organization for professional agrologists in Canada - is actively working toward regulation that would require farms in western Canada to file nutrient management plans. If true this type of additional regulatory interference would needlessly add expense and bureaucracy to grain production for no compensatory benefit. In areas of dense population with intensive livestock production perhaps there is a reason for monitoring nutrient applications - particularly manure. Under dryland grain systems the only reason for nutrient management plans is to keep bureaucratic hacks employed writing and approving another piece of paper.

    If you know a professional agrologist now is the time to express your disapproval of such a self-serving piece of regulation. It wouldn't hurt to talk to your local MP as well.
