🌱Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, with agricultural emissions closely linked to nitrogen fertilizer use. Importantly, nitrogen lost as N2O is also nitrogen that is no longer available to the crop, thus reducing nitrogen use efficiency. Croptimistic is proud to be an industry collaborator with the Canadian Nitrous Oxide Network (CanN2ONet). This NSERC-funded national research network brings together researchers, industry, government, and producer groups from across Canada to develop practical solutions for reducing nitrogen losses from agriculture, including N2O emissions. At CanN2ONet’s Olds College benchmark site, we’re working with a national research team led by @uofg to investigate whether variable rate nitrogen application can reduce N2O emissions while improving nitrogen use efficiency. Croptimistic provides SWAT MAPS zones, soil sampling, variable-rate prescriptions, and precision agriculture expertise, while the research team measures how these management practices affect the field. Putting the right rate in the right place is good agronomy and smart economics. We’re excited to help demonstrate that it can also be good climate practice. #sustainablefarming

Start your 2027 planning at no cost. Your first field is FREE! SWAT MAPS helps farmers achieve the highest level of precision management by turning field data into economic intelligence, so they can invest with confidence and improve profitability acre by acre. We're offering complimentary services on a field up to 160 acres, which includes: ✅ SWAT BOX and RTK mapping ✅ SWAT MAPS creation ✅ Ground truthing ✅ SWAT Zone sampling ✅ VR recommendations and prescriptions *Must have capable VR controller and equipment.

The most progressive farms in the world trust SWAT MAPS - because precision only matters if it leads to better decisions and better returns. Today, SWAT MAPS is used across more than 4 million acres in 3 countries, with a 98% client acre retention rate and farmers reporting an average 6:1 ROI. That’s what happens when field variability becomes something you can actually manage, measure, and improve.

Can precision agriculture help rebuild soil while protecting it from further erosion? Our white paper, Driving Regenerative and Sustainable Agricultural Practices with Precision, explores this through a case study titled "Maintaining Soil Cover and Managing Phosphate to Reduce Erosion and Runoff." In hummocky landscapes, eroded hilltops can lead to poor seed placement, low plant populations, and exposed soil that is vulnerable to further erosion. In our case study, variable rate seeding was used to increase crop establishment in vulnerable areas, while phosphate rates were adjusted by SWAT zone based on soil P supply and expected yield removal. The goal was to build ground cover, support soil health, and minimize excess phosphate and runoff. 🌱THE RESULT: Over time, increased crop roots and biomass can improve soil health and reduce seedling mortality, allowing seeding rates to eventually return to normal. This is a practical example of using field specific data to improve crop establishment while protecting soil.

New service provider announcement! Founded in 2026 by Josefine Bartlett, NordÄng Agronomy is based near the Fairview, AB area. Bartlett’s decision to become a SWAT MAPS partner began on her family farm. After implementing SWAT MAPS, she saw firsthand how the technology helped explain field variability and uncover opportunities that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. "Using SWAT MAPS on our own farm was eye-opening. It helped put field variability into perspective in a way that was practical and actionable,” said Bartlett. “Having watched the technology evolve over the years, I saw the value it could bring to other growers as well. It's a tool that works, and it helps farmers make sense of the challenges they deal with every day." Welcome, NordÄng! READ MORE: bit.ly/4g13C0A #CdnAg #SWATMAPS

💧Wet soils can mean more than muddy fields. Saturated conditions can affect root growth, nutrient uptake and nutrient losses, especially for nitrogen and sulphur, but the impact isn’t the same across every part of the field. In our latest blog, Rachelle Farrell out of Alberta explains how wet conditions can affect your soil and nutrients, and what to look for this season.
