Field research record · Est. 2025 · East central Saskatchewan
Every trial on this site is run on a working prairie farm, resolved to 20 m grid cells, and costed with the actual inputs applied. Methods, treatment rates and economics are shown in full — including the trials that did not pay.

On a field with a long oat history and variable topography, does raising the S15 blend rate from 60 lb/ac to 90 lb/ac return more than it costs?
01 · Field Notes
A field average is a single answer to a question that had three hundred different answers. Here is what resolving yield to 20 m cells actually changes about a decision.

Three of the practices we tested last season did not pay. Two of them were things producers had been doing for years without questioning.

A profit map is easy to look at and easy to misread. The useful information is in how many acres sit in each band, not in where the red is.

Protocol
Yield resolved to 20 m cells on the surveyed field boundary. No smoothing, no synthetic grids.
Prices and input costs are held apart from agronomic data, so any result recalculates against today's market.
Producer data stays with the producer. Published trials carry crop, region and season only.
