Thank you to everyone who joined us for CDC Field Day! We truly appreciate your continued support — it was a pleasure to connect and share with you today. #CDCFieldDay
Dr. Steve Shirtliffe is sharing insights on the Dept. of Plant Sciences’ UAV (drone) program and the new Nutrient Centre for Sustainable & Digital Agriculture. Big things ahead in precision ag and data-driven crop management! #CDCFieldDay #AgTech #UAV #SustainableFarming
We’re thankful for the rain—but it means no outdoor tours today at #CDCFieldDay. Instead, our stakeholder are joining us indoors at our Aberdeen facility for great presentations, research highlights, and discussions! #RainOrShine #USask
#USask researchers are studying alfalfa with yellow flowers to see if it can provide drought tolerance in future varieties for Western Canada. #USaskResearch producer.com/news/research-…

Stop by the @agbiousask booth (#328) at @AginMotion and talk with @agbiousask students about trees on farmland!
Walk onto a Prairie farm, and there’s nearly a 1-in-2 chance the seeds in the ground trace back to one place: the Crop Development Centre at #USask. Read more about the work being done at @CDC_USask: seedworld.com/canada/2025/07…
Behind nearly half of the crops grown on the Prairies? Our team. A big shout-out to the scientists, breeders, and partners making this impact possible. Read more: seedworld.com/canada/2025/07… #CDC_USask #AgInnovation #PlantBreeding
