Research from long-term trials at the Ontario Crops Research Centre in Ridgetown shows that diversifying corn-soy rotations to include wheat can have a significant impact on corn and soybean yields, increasing yields of the two crops between six and 17 bushels per acre.
Some cows can be more curious than others, while others more shy and some may even be quite aggressive. With funding in part from the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, researchers at the University of Guelph are looking at the connection between a cow’s personality and her milking performance.
This partnership will see students and scientists from both institutions collborating to communicate about the incredibly important and groundbreaking work U of G's Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) does every day.

Two of Canada’s leading agri-food research universities — the University of Guelph and University of the Fraser Valley – have launched a new partnership aimed at advancing new pathways for sustainable innovation within Canada’s $140-billion food and agriculture industry.
This co-operation opens up new avenues for collaboration, including access to a rich cross-section of agri-food expertise on the West Coast and shared resources to help propel scientific research to practical food system solutions across Canada.
On the Dec. 13 episode of the RealAgriculture Corn School, host Bernard Tobin gets answers to questions about applying nitrogen later in the season to gain more control of the crop with help from Alliance-funded University of Guelph researcher Dr. Josh Nasielski and graduate student Gavin Brady.
Dr. Amélie Gaudin has been following the results from long-term studies on rotational diversity since earning her PhD from the University of Guelph. Now a professor at the Unviersity of California Davis, she presented insights from a variety of research studies in Ontario and across parts of the U.S., citing research projects that began in 1980 and are still underway at the Ontario Crops Research Centre in Elora.
Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities Jill Dunlop visited the University of Guelph to learn how the University is helping develop commercial solutions to challenges in sectors across Ontario’s economy through technology research and innovation.
Dr. Terri O’Sullivan believes swine farms are missing an opportunity for using needle-free injection technology in young piglets. The technology – with potential economic benefits for producers and welfare benefits for animals – has been available for some time but has not been widely adopted in Ontario hog production.
The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance is a longstanding collaboration between the Government of Ontario, the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario and the University of Guelph.
The Alliance generates impact by directing the efforts of our people, places and programs toward six key outcomes that support Grow Ontario, a provincial agri-food strategy and vision for the future of the province’s food supply chain.
