On my way to spend several days in Saskatoon with my brother and sister. Stopped for a break, gas and beef jerky in Macklin on my way from Lacombe. Good tunes and sunny riding conditions. Looking forward to some beers, and good times with the family including grand nephews!

Hey # PeaceRiverRegion! We start the 2025 Annual Canola Survey tomorrow with teams in #AAFC vehicles. Coming to a field near you over the next 10-14 days! #WestCdnAg #Plant25 #AgricultureFeedsTheWorld #NotAnOfficeJob

Come see us at the Lacombe Research and Development Centre on Friday! Lots of fun activities planned for the family!

Breanne Tidemann Our program’s bringing down live ground beetles to race and a scavenger hunt using some of our many pinned insect specimens - all from the #PeaceRiverRegion! Come see some of the arthropods that are part of your field crop ecosystem! #WestCdnAg #PPMN #Plant25

Graeme Sandral Ben Morris FAR Australia Tom Price Not exactly how it works. Adult plant resistance (APR) linked growth stage. All varieties, even RMR susceptible to stripe rust as seedlings. APR in RMR activity GS25-29 so can still get seedling infections in lower leaves produced before this GS. Cool temp delays not prevents APR

When conditions are conducive and no management has been applied, and with no genetic resistance, leaf spot can be very much devastating...this is natural infection

🧬 A triple mutant of net form net blotch (NFNB) has been found in WA, SA & VIC — showing resistance to all 3 major fungicide groups 🌾 Fungicides still matter, and growers play a key role 💪 📍 Read the CCDM Spotlight: buff.ly/IGy4Efm GRDC Curtin University

😟 The increasing use of precautionary fungicide applications in Australian canola is cause for concern. What may seem like cheap insurance could be a longer-term risk to canola production. Weigh the pros/cons of fungicide use & follow the #AFREN Fungicide Resistance 5
