Scott Day

Director of Agronomy

Scott Day is Director of Agronomy at Fall Line Capital.  He is a fifth generation farmer from Manitoba, Canada where he was an early practitioner and advocate of no-till agriculture. In addition to farming more than 15 different commercial crops over 25 years on his own farm, Scott was an agronomist and crop diversification specialist for Manitoba Agriculture focusing on no-till agriculture and sustainable food production. In this research and extension role, he worked with more than 60 different crops and a myriad of crop protection products and new equipment technologies. His responsibilities included planting over 2,000 test plots annually in 10 different locations, making him a seasoned expert in a wide variety of crops and production systems.

Scott has direct farming experience not only in North America, but also in Australia and Europe and has been an adviser to governments, universities and farm groups in Europe (Ireland, UK, Ukraine) and Australia. It is through these travels that he originally met Clay many years ago. He has won numerous achievement awards for his ag extension work and promotion of no-till agriculture, including “Zero-till Farmer of the Year” and “Conservation Farm of the Year.” Scott is a regular speaker at international conferences regarding advanced crop research and recently spoke at AgriTechnica in Hannover, Germany and Crop World in London, England. He is also a regular columnist (most recently with NoTillVille.com) and a contributing author of several books including “The Search for Sustainable Agriculture” and “Rainfed Farming Systems Around the World.” Scott received a BS in Agriculture with honors from the University of Manitoba and is a Professional Agrologist.
