Imagine a map of every field under agricultural production across Western Canada, showing detailed information about what crops are currently grown and whether they represent an optimal use for local conditions.
With an area spanning 2.7 million square kilometres - and more than 135 million acres used for farming - this may sound far-fetched, yet Dr. Steve Shirtliffe (PhD), professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), is confident not only that this ambition can become reality but also that it will be a valuable tool for agricultural producers and other decision-makers.
