Reduced Tillage LINKAGES strongly believes that Alberta farmers can and should be rewarded for their commitment to environmental stewardship.
Alberta producers utilize crop management practices that ensure the crops they grow are produced in an environmentally sustainable manner.
In November of 2007, Reduced Tillage LINKAGES was asked to submit our project entitled Bringing Environmental Stewardship to the Global Marketplace to the Alberta Funding Consortium (ACIDF, AARI, ACAAF). The project was not funded but AARI asked for a revised submission which is smaller but similar in nature. We have hired Janette McDonald for the project.
The attached document outlines the basis of the new proposal.
We welcome your comments, insights and opinions regarding the project.

Russel Hurst of CropLife Canada was at FarmTech 2008 discussing various initiatives that are attempting to move stewardship into the marketplace. PDF versions of his presentations are available below:
