For seven consecutive years PFRA has surveyed about 500 fields in west central Saskatchewan to monitor trends in seeding systems and crop rotations. The most notable trend during this period has been the increase in low soil disturbance direct seeding, especially in 1997 and 1998. However, in 1999 direct seeding decreased, possibly due to the wet spring weather causing a greater need for pre-seeding weed control. During this seven year period there has been a gradual decrease in fallow and a substantial increase in pulse crop acreage. While there has been a gradual increase in the use of airseeders, discers continue to be popular with wheat/fallow rotations on heavy textured soils. Interestingly, at least 20 to 30 % of surveyed fields don't see the same seeding implement in consecutive years. The potential for future increases in direct seeding is mostly limited by the extent to which producers move away from the traditional wheat/fallow rotation.
