Results from our 2020<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/saifood.ca\/crop-rotation-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crop Rotation Survey<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">of Prairie farmers indicate that 30 years ago, between the crop production years of 1991-1994, only 30% of Prairie farmers were including a pulse crop in their rotations. By 2016-2019, 58% of farmers were including a pulse crop. Similarly, the number of Prairie farmers that planted three or more types of crops over the four-year period studied increased from 59% to 80% between 1991-1994 and 2016-2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to diversifying their crop rotations, Prairie farmers have also made changes to the way they apply their herbicides to include more tank mixes and greater diversity in herbicide active ingredients. Chemical data from the Crop Rotation Survey was only available from Saskatchewan farmers. Between the crop production periods of 1991-1994 and 2016-2019, the average number of Saskatchewan farmers applying multiple active ingredients per herbicide application increased by 37% for pre-seed applications, 8% for in-crop applications, and 22% for post-harvest applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When Canadian Prairie farm management practices are compared to those of the most prominent agricultural regions of the United States (US), multiple differences can be noted.
