Some things never fail during busy season #ThreeGlugs

Is your kochia Group 14-resistant? Find out for free! Help us validate our new genetic test by submitting leaf tissue. This year we have an open call for testing Group 14 resistance in kochia across AB/SK/MB. Contact me for a free sample submission kit. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Not all herbicides drift the same. Even if your sprayer setup is dialed in, the formulation matters. Here’s a breakdown of which formulations are most prone to drift (vapor or physical) — and which ones behave better.

Wonder why farmers are shitting themselves when they aren't getting the rains? This gives you a pretty good idea. In the past 13 years farmer inputs have increased by 68% Equipment costs up 75% Commercial seed up 49% Fertilizer prices have doubled. This is not sustainable.

Pulses germinating in the pods already and splitting them open after a 2 inch rain.. guess there is a first time for everything #scout25 #agronomist #plant25 CO-OP AGRO Co-op Agro (Wetaskiwin)

What if you had an acre of Palmer Amaranth at 120k plants per acre? You'd have this. Nutrient uptake in excess of 500 bu/ac corn at maximum nutrient content. Pigweed is a VERY effective nutrient scavenger, uptaking 2x the potassium of corn as compared to nitrogen. If a

Mother Nature helping us out with the Berthas. This damp foggy weather has been good for something at least.

I’m not trying to be a whistleblower or anything but I came face to face with a problem that every farmer or consumer in the United States and Canada needs to me aware of. This is an absolute joke and a mess but yet as always us common folk are caught in the middle of. It’s going

Update: Genetic testing identifies Group 14-resistant kochia at 13 more sites (so far) across the Canadian Prairies and in all three Prairie Provinces. Stay tuned for complete updates this fall/winter…

Update: Genetic tests provide new insight into the distribution of Group 14-resistant kochia. Samples continue to arrive. Thanks to everyone who submitted samples! Stay tuned for the complete story this winter.

‼️ Health Canada is proposing a ban on "over-the-top" dicamba applications in soybeans, and limiting its use above 25C and on over 50 cm tall corn. Public comments on the proposal are accepted until Nov 1 🔗: ow.ly/JiEG50WYaxB #cdnag #soybeans #ontag #westcdnag #farming

Ethelbert MB got 7.5" of rain the other day, what a mess

The light from our yard light is keeping the soybeans green. You can easily see the nighttime shadow of the pole. I posted a photo like this last year at ground level. I now have a pretty cool drone, and I’m learning how to use it. Barn swallows were trying to attack it. Uffda!

Residents air concerns about Blue Sky carbon-capture facility – Brandon Sun brandonsun.com/local/2025/11/…

The Carbon Capture Act in MB could have some really big impacts on oil and mineral rights owners in Manitoba. Pore space ownership now belongs to the government. This is really important information for all land, oil and mineral right owners. facebook.com/share/p/1P4Tox…

The government spent more than $19B last year on consultants but feel it's necessary to fire agricultural scientists and researchers to save a few bucks. The Agriculture Minister announced $300M last year for climate funding but can't keep the lights on at our research
