As of this week, provincial seeding progress has hit 90%, up sharply from 72% the week prior. But moisture is a concern in many areas. hubs.li/Q03q74dn0

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a silent killer of cereal crops—striking before farmers even know it’s there. Now, thanks to a new risk tool from Dr. Adam Foster, Maritime growers finally have a way to fight back. 🌾 hubs.li/Q03qG1rk0

🚜 Alberta farmers are nearly done seeding — 99% of crops are in, with emergence racing ahead of schedule. But soil moisture is dropping fast. The next few weeks of rainfall could make or break the season. #Plant25 🌾🌦️ hubs.li/Q03rLHl50

Crops are off to a flying start — 95% emerged, well ahead of normal. But dry soil is catching up fast. With surface moisture at just 20%, timely rain is now critical to keep this early momentum from stalling. hubs.li/Q03sfPG40

💧 Every Drop Counts On #DesertificationAndDrought Day, we celebrate farmers who make more with less. Precision ag, cover crops, and soil health = stronger yields and lasting land. #WaterWisely #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAg
