The OMAFRA Field Crop Team works in collaboration with producers, SCIA associations, academics, government, industry and other OMAFRA staff to evaluate new technologies and issues that are of importance to the people of Ontario and field crop agriculture throughout the province. The team would like to thank the many farm cooperators, university, government and industry partners who have contributed to the projects summarized in this report. Funding for projects is obtained from various sources including provincial and federal governments, industry and producer associations. This contribution is greatly appreciated and we trust that the information generated in the activities of these projects will be of benefit to Ontario producers and the public.
