    Searching for stories inside Prairie sentinels

    Searching for stories inside Prairie sentinels
    The number of wood-frame grain elevators on the Prairies are slowly dwindling away. Sadly, that number was recently added to when one of the oldest elevators of its kind in Canada was reduced to ashes. In early April, the Lake of the Woods grain elevator in Elva, Man., was being dismantled as part of a reclamation project when the 125-year-old structure accidentally caught fire and burned to the ground. In this episode, Manitoba Co-operator reporter Geralyn Wichers speaks with Gordon Goldsborough, president of the Manitoba Historical Society, about the Prairie sentinel that once stood in Elva, and the thread in history these historic structures contain. Hosted by Geralyn Wichers.

    Managing microbes, curbing climate gases

    Managing microbes, curbing climate gases
    The federal government wants growers to use less fertilizer to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but continuous yield growth is needed to feed an increasingly hungry population. Manish Raizada, professor of plant science at the University of Guelph, thinks nitrogen-fixing microbes have a big role to play in this arena; plus, nitrous oxide is a far more powerful greenhouse gas compared to its lesser, but more popular cousin, carbon dioxide. Richard Farrell, associate professor at the University of Saskatchewan, talks about how greenhouse gases in agriculture are measured and what can be done to rein them in. Hosted by Robert Arnason.
