Advanced Harvest Technology for Crops Research

莱克兰学院正在请求NSERC阿尔蒂提供资金，购买一台专门的联合收割机，以建立为作物产业和农民对小地块农艺研究的需求服务的能力。正如我们的行业合作伙伴所指出的那样，我们地区独特的土壤，作物和气候农艺领域的作物研究能力存在明显差距。NSERC的投资将使莱克兰学院能够在我们的农艺区域提供优质的小地块研究服务，为加拿大西部的生产者、中小企业和农业价值链带来有价值的成果。这些设备对于作物研究小组成功开展合作研究活动以及该小组通过提高业务效率提高劳动生产率的能力至关重要。学生还将在这种独特的设备上进行接触和培训，帮助他们了解如何应用研究成果，因为他们作为雇员或农业企业家进入劳动力市场。

Lakeland College is requesting NSERC ARTI funding to purchase a specialized combine to build capacity to serve the crop industry and farmer's needs for small-plot agronomic research. There is an identified gap in crop research capabilities for our region's unique soil, cropping, and climatic agronomic area as noted by our industry partners. NSERC's investment will enable Lakeland College to provide quality small plot research services in our agronomic region, producing results of value to Western Canadian producers, SMEs and the agriculture value chain. The equipment will be of integral importance to the success of the crop research team to carry out collaborative research activities and to the team's ability to increase labour productivity through operational efficiencies. Students will be also exposed and trained on this unique equipment, helping them develop an understanding of how to apply the outcomes of research as they enter the workforce as employees or agricultural entrepreneurs.
