Bourgualt agronomy

They use 140 N to try and get poor emergence on the dual shank seedhawk. 140N plus 108N residual plus 80-100 N from mineralization or 330-350 total N. Works out to a 130 bpa target which the long term area average is likely half that.

Comes down to its not agronomy, its bourgault agronomy, i.e. find a marketing gimmick.

If one tried that in western Sask you would be broke in two years .
Definitely small area specific garden oasis regions . Where Bourgault does their testing is one of those small regions . St Bruiex has very good soil, risk of frost is relatively low , and rarely gets drought .
Like any info , good to take bits and pieces that may apply to one’s own region .
Agree long term ave yields are far lower than that nearly everywhere , and it’s climate related not fertility that dictates yield in most areas , mainly moisture or lack there of in timely fashion .
Throw in frost , hail and other factors and high yields are a pipe dream for most 8/10 years .
Retailers dream for fert and fungicides in those small high production areas though .

Are you trying to say you put a million acres on your drill/cultivator

Maybe he’s Monette

I've always respected Jerry's dedication to making a piece of equipment that he thought might make farmers lives easier and more profitable.
Bourgault trained many welders to be entrepreneurs that went on to start their own little enterprise's in that area that makes it one of Canada's most innovative equipment producers.

Well said! Good Canadian company!

What we own that's made by Bourgault is built to last!

we had an air seeder FH36-42 , i think , in the 90's
main frame cracked in a couple places
they came out one morning with a picker , took air kit off , took main centre frame off , put new centre frame on , had air kit back on and ready to go at supper time . amazing service, no charge , unit was about 5 years old !!!!!
something like doepkers , true prairie pride and service
