THUNDER BAY — The Lakehead University Agricultural Research Station (LUARS) is continuing to test new fertilizers and other products, with 51 experiments happening in total this summer.
At the annual tour on Aug. 1, Andrew Brekveld, a farmer at Woodstar Farm, said having LUARS is a huge benefit.
“Tarlok Sahota (the LUARS director) and his crew over here do research on a small scale so that, as farmers, we can take those results and apply them to a larger field with less risk because it's been trialled.
“It's been a great thing to have this station here,” he said.
