Canada’s First Research Smart Farm The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) and SaskTel, the leading information and communications technology provider in Saskatchewan, will partner to launch a ‘living laboratory’ at the University’s Livestock & Forage Centre of Excellence (LFCE) to test, develop, and demonstrate world-class agricultural technologies. Through a memorandum of understanding (MOU), SaskTel and U of S will focus on “smart farming” research and innovation to accelerate transformation in Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry. Smart farming involves collecting and analyzing “big data” so producers can make informed and sustainable farm
management decisions that improve productivity, the announcement said. Driven by engineering, agricultural, and computer science researchers, this project will focus on conducting research, improving education around smart farming, and testing and validating new agricultural technology ideas and solutions. LFCE would be the first research smart farm in Canada to focus on maximizing efficiency in livestock operations through the latest technology in an interconnected wireless environment, the university said in a news release. SaskTel and U of S will invite key stakeholders in the agriculture industry, including ag tech startups, to identify challenges, propose
solutions, and initiate projects to test and validate these solutions at LFCE. LFCE is a world-class complex of field and science laboratories that brings together every link of the livestock production chain under one roof. Modeling all aspects of raising livestock on the Canadian prairies, it encompasses everything from forage development, grazing management, and environmental sustainability to cattle reproduction, cow/calf management and feedlot health, growth, and productivity. In addition to beef cattle research and education, LFCE is a center for bison reproductive work, vaccine development and disease control, and nutrition.
