I guess I’ve joined team seal it in… #harrowing 3 days ago this was snow covered. sand = infiltration They don’t make them like they used too.

Cruising through the AB special areas today and nice to see water and rain. A lot can happen in the growing season to come but we’re at least at a relatively decent starting point in terms of soil moisture in many (but not all) parts of the prairies. #westcdnag #plant25 #water

I think I’ll just round up and call this an inch instead of 98/100ths to avoid anyone getting annoyed with me. #water #optimistic

It’s all about finding the balance when it comes to optimizing nitrogen applications and trying to build soil organic matter.

Syrup season is complete! Boiled down around 450 litres to end up with around 14 litres at the end of the day. This is the only legally and morally allowed way to clean up any of the messes

By day I work to push the envelope with precision ag R&D SWAT MAPS and by night I come to grip with the realities of logistics trumping agronomy when I seed forage with equipment much older than myself. #plant25 #alldone

So apparently this 1 goat became 5 goats today. Quadruplets really help to get that birthing ratio higher! #goats #kidding #bottlefeedingisinmyfuture #thisisfine

Was surprised to be recognized earlier this year as "Top Influencer" with SWAT MAPS. Influencer is an interesting term and presumes people listen to what I communicate😉Regardless I appreciate that my interactions on and offline with the ag community are valued!

It may seem that winter is a thing of the distant past but don't tell that to the soils at depth. For example in the zone 5 and 10 (lower slope position) of this field the soil temp profile shows the downward and upward thaw is still on the go SWAT MAPS #westcdnag #plant25

They don't let me out from behind my desk much 😉 but I do sometimes have a chance to get into a field and get my hands dirty. Fun stuff coming down the R&D pipeline these days! SWAT MAPS #agtech

Slightly less smoke today means we compensate with barley dust and sweat…. 🤦 One pail at a time…. Would be so much easier if the cattle/pigs/chickens could actually chew their food thoroughly on their own…. #weekendfarmer #itchy

We're seeking temporary Lab Technicians to join our team! As the Lab Technician, you would be responsible for basic laboratory operations and ensuring a high quality of service and accuracy. Croptimistic’s soil lab plays a key role in supporting our precision agronomy services.

I’m a big fan of this! The timing and potential magnitude of this rain event will do wonders to help crop roots bridge the gap between the drier surface and the deeper moisture that is waiting patiently from the spring snowmelt (not everywhere of course). #WestCdnAg #water
